Hughe J A Bridge Too Far is the last of the big budget war movies that had thousands of extras, hundreds of vehicles, airplanes, and boats, and was shot on the various locations where the real battles took place throughout Europe in WWII. This is the story of Operation Market Garden where in 1944 English General Montgomery proposed a daring attack by the allies deep into German held territory in the Netherlands opening an invasion route into northern Germany. The plan involved American, British, and Polish airborne troops landing behind German lines in order to capture bridges and they would be relieved by a British armored column moving along a single highway. The plan ultimately failed and this movie details all of the different officers and missions involved in that plan. This is a true ensemble cast as the movie stars Sean Connery, Michael Caine, James Caan, Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Ryan O'Neil, Lawrence Olivier, Anthony Hopkins and so many more with Richard Attenborough directing. Other than Hackman's terrible Polish accent the acting across the board was excellent, especially Hopkins and Connery, the set pieces were incredible, the attention to detail was stunning, and the recreation of the battles without the use of any CGI was fantastic. The movie was three hours long but with so many stories to tell it's understandable. Overall this is one of my favorite war movies and certainly worth a watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review Gabe H Great war movie. Honestly I don't know why this got such mediocre reviews. It is long, yes, but no less exciting, excellently acted, monumental in scope and, to pull that all off in 1977 must have been a challenge. There are some scenes which carry weight to this day. Unusual for a big budget blockbuster war movie to have more emotion than many at the time.

Redford, James Caan, and Sean Connery highlighted the all-star cast.
