After settling his differences with a Japanese P.O.W. 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.
Before he was Obi-Wan Kenobi in “Star Wars”, Guinness was directed by Lean six times, including this towering winner of seven Oscars - including Best Picture, Director, and Actor – about Japanese P.O.W.’s building a railway bridge across the Kwai River.
“Suffice it to say, it's a masterpiece... and an epic one at that.” – Bill Gabron, Pop Matters
“It is a whale of a story, and in the telling of it, British Director David Lean does a whale of a job.” – Time Magazine
