Saturday Night at the Movies: A Bridge Too Far

on BBC One London

The Allies have a plan to stop the war by the end of 1944. Called Operation Market
Garden this daring operation involves parachuting 35,000 troops into occupied Holland to capture a line of six bridges and cut off the Fatherland. Shown to commemorate the anniversary of the battle for Arnhem, this spectacular film shows the bravery and the folly of one of the costliest operations in British military history.
