Subscribe FreeStory Synopsis
One of the most brilliant films of all time, with superb widescreen cinematography and a fabulous musical score. Lean’s movie is loosely based on a true World War II event. Guinness plays a by-the-book, almost-crazed British colonel who leads POW’s in building a railway bridge for the Japanese in Burma while Holden and Hawkins are allied commandos sent out to destroy the endeavor.
