THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI (1957)



Director: David Lean

Starring: William Holden, Alec Guinness and Jack Hawkins 

Plot Summary: After settling his differences with a Japanese PoW camp commander, a British colonel co-operates to oversee his men's construction of a railway bridge for their captors - while oblivious to a plan by the Allies to destroy it.
 
An epic movie which is large in scope and personnel, The Bridge on the River Kwai speaks of the code of honour amongst men during war, the respect shared by enemies of war, and the madness which war evokes.


Aarnav’s Rating: 7.5/10
