The Verdict: A Must-Buy


Out of the sky comes the screen's most incredible spectacle of men and war!


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 Reich’s war plants. But a combination of battlefield politics, faulty intelligence, bad luck and even worse weather led to disaster beyond the Allies’ darkest fears. Based on Cornelius Ryan’s best-selling novel, A Bridge Too Far accurately recreates in stunning detail this controversial episode in military history. Director Richard Attenborough (Gandhi, Cry Freedom) and writer William Goldman (Marathon Man, All the President’s Men) craft an epic both monumental in its scale and surprising in its subtlety. Featuring an unparalleled all-star cast—James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Elliott Gould, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Ryan O’Neal and Robert Redford to name but a few—and indelible images of battle, like a sky mushroomed with falling paratroopers, A Bridge Too Far has been heralded as “the definitive World War II film” (Judith Crist, Saturday Review).
