In september 1944,flush with sucess after the Normandy invasion,the allies confidently launced Operation Market Garden,a wild scheme intended to put an early end to World War 2 by invading Germany and smashing the Reich's war plants.

However,a combination of battlefield politics,faulty intelligence,bad luck and worse weather led to disaster.

An epic retelling of World War 2's most tragic blunder,A Bridge Too Far directed by academy award winner Richard Attenborough,meticulousy depicts the ambitious plan which resulted in more allied casualties than the entire Normandy landing.

Painstakingly re-created on actual battlefield locations and boasting a remarkable all-star cast, A Bridge Too Far accurately recaptures the monumental scope, excitement and danger behind one of the biggest military gambles in history.
