The Bridge on the River Kwai begins with British prisoners, led by Col. Nicholson (Guinness), filing into a Japanese PoW camp. The harsh camp commandant, Col. Saito (Sessue Hayakawa), wants the British to build a bridge, but Nicholson refuses until his captor will agree to certain conditions. Thus begins the extraordinary contest of wills that sustains the entire movie. Both men resist each other on principle, yet share the dream of building the bridge. In both cases, the construction project is a measure of their extraordinary folly. Magnificent performances and a gripping plot make this Oscar-winning film a must-see.

Description An outstanding, psychologically complex adaptation of Pierre Boulle's 1952 novel. A classic story of English POWs in Burma forced to build a bridge to aid the war effort of their Japanese captors. British and American intelligence officers conspire to blow up the structure, but the commander (Guinness) who supervised the bridge's construction has acquired a sense of pride in his creation and tries to foil their plans. Too late, he realizes the devastating consequences of his actions. Although credited to screenwriter Carl Foreman, the script was actually written by blacklisted writer Michael Wilson.
