A Bridge Too Far

Directed by Richard Attenborough, this BAFTA-winning wartime drama details a pivotal day in 1944 when an Allied task force tried -- and failed -- to win World War II by seizing control of key bridges in Holland. The film boasts a cast of thousands (including Sean Connery, Robert Redford, James Caan, Anthony Hopkins and Laurence Olivier) and some of the most intense battle sequences ever captured on camera.
