-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The film deals with the situation of British prisoners of war during World War 
II who are ordered to build a bridge to accommodate the Burma-Siam railway. 
Their instinct is to sabotage the bridge but, under the leadership of Colonel 
Nicholson (Alec Guinness), they are persuaded that the bridge should be 
constructed as a symbol of British morale, spirit and dignity in adverse 
circumstances. At first, the prisoners admire Nicholson when he bravely endures 
torture rather than compromise his principles for the benefit of the Japanese 
commandant Saito (Sessue Hayakawa). He is an honorable but arrogant man, who is 
slowly revealed to be a deluded obsessive. He convinces himself that the bridge 
is a monument to British character, but actually is a monument to himself, and 
his insistence on its construction becomes a subtle form of collaboration with 
the enemy. Unknown to him, the Allies have sent a mission into the jungle, led 
by Warden (Jack Hawkins) and an American, Shears (William Holden), to blow up 
the bridge.
