Movie Reviews of A Bridge Too Far

Movie Review: A Classic WWII Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

While sections of the Band of Brothers do a better job of showing a small part of Operation Market Garden, no film does a better job of showing the entire picture. With an all star cast, this is a great movie.

Summary of A Bridge Too Far

This massive 1977 adaptation by director Richard Attenborough (Gandhi) of Cornelius Ryan's novel features an all-star cast in an epic rendering of a daring but ultimately disastrous raid behind enemy lines in Holland during the Second World War. A lengthy and exhaustive look at the mechanics of warfare and the price and futility of war, the film is almost too large for its aims but manages to be both picaresque and affecting, particularly in the performance of James Caan. The impressive cast includes Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Dirk Bogarde, Sean Connery, and Liv Ullmann among others. While not a classic war film, it nevertheless manages to be a consistently interesting and exciting adventure. --Robert Lane
An epic film that "re-creates in stunning detail one of the most disastrous battles of World War II"(The Hollywood Reporter) A Bridge Too Far is a spectacular war picture. Painstakingly recreated on actual battlefield locations and boasting a remarkable cast that includes Sean Connery Anthony Hopkins Sir Laurence Olivier and Robert Redford A Bridge Too Far accurately recaptures the monumental scope excitement and danger behind one of the biggest military gambles in history. In September 1944 flush with success after the Normandy Invasion the Allies confidently launched Operation Market Garden a wild scheme intended to put an early end to the fighting by invading Germany and smashing the Reichs war plants. But a combination of battlefield politics faulty intelligence bad luck and even worse weather led to the disaster beyond the Allies darkest fear.Starring: Sean Connery Michael Caine James Caan Gene Hackman Anthony Hopkins Laurence Olivier Ryan ONeal Robert RedfordDirector: Richard Attenboroughrunning time of 176 minutes; Closed Captioned.
