A Bridge Too Far Plot and Cast
This film recounts Operation Market Garden, an Allied mission in the latter stages of World War II aimed at ending the conflict swiftly by capturing three bridges in Holland to gain access over the Rhine into Germany. Poor Allied intelligence and the presence of two crack German panzer divisions doomed the operation's final objective—the bridge at Arnhem over the Rhine—to failure.
