Այս ֆիլմի մասին

This all-star WWII epic depicts the Allied defeat at Arnhem, Holland, in September 1944 and concentrates on those assigned to capture the strategically important bridge, despite insurmountable odds... It was planned to airdrop 35,000 U.S. and British paratroopers into Eastern Holland to secure six bridges leading to the German border, while a British ground force sped through Belgium to the bridge at Arnhem on the Rhine River. Converging, the two armies were to smash the already-damaged war-production factories of the Third Reich in the Ruhr section of Germany. But...everything went wrong: weather, bad judgment, panic, pure bad luck. The operation, which lasted nine days and had been code-named 'Market Garden,' was a total disaster... Based on the book by Cornelius Ryan.

Some parts of this movie has very cheerful music which is odd because it's about a failed ww2 operation, other than that I really enjoyed this one such a great cast Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery, Gene Hackman, Michael Caine, James Caan, Robert Redford, Laurence Olivier, definitely a must watch, I high recommend this one.

This is good, but the subject is too big for a single movie to cover adequately and therefore unless one has a knowledge of the subject, it can get confusing. Check out 'Theirs is the Glory' which focuses on Arnhem and 'Band of Brothers' that deals with 101st operations. Then watch this again!

A very sobering war film. To think that, so much goes into planning that the details get left out, and poor preparation factor in stupidity, and of course weather divide by human condition, and multiply arrogance. Make one wonder how wars are even won, much less why they are fought. Think if seeing before "Star Wars - New Hope" . Would have not been a war fan, or a veteran. Fortunately I did not serve in combat This film gave respect to those did the "Bleeding and The Dying." - Quote from Chuck Norris - In Delta Force.
