00:00We've paid for that bridge and we're going to collect.
00:07We're going to fly 35,000 men 300 miles and drop them behind enemy lines.
00:13It'll be the largest airborne operation ever mounted.
00:17Quite frankly, this kind of thing's never been attempted before.
00:22We shall seize the bridges, it's all a question of bridges, with thunderclap surprise.
00:28And hold them until they can be secured.
00:32And we go next Sunday.
00:34Seven days.
00:36The sooner we go the better. You've got them on the run.
00:39One, eight, nine.
00:42Joseph E. Levine presents A Bridge Too Far.
00:46Based on Cornelius Ryan's international bestseller.
00:51The story of the most dramatic and devastating battle of worlds.
00:57The plan is called Operation Market Garden.
01:04Market is the airborne element and garden the ground forces.
01:10I like to think of this as one of those American western films.
01:15Germans, well, naturally they're the bad guys.
01:19We, my friends, are the cavalry on the way to the rescue.
01:24A Bridge Too Far.
01:28Starring Dirk Bogart, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Edward Fox, Elliot Gould, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Hardy Krueger, Laurence Olivier, Ryan O'Neill, Robert Redford, Maximilian Schell, Liev Ullman.
01:46Take cover!
01:50Don't you think that since we know that Arnhem is so crucial to their safety, they might know that too?
01:55The river's wide and that the current is strong.
02:01Hey, oh, Mary.
02:02I love Grace.
02:03If there's any more cheery information comes my way, I'll just be too happy to pass it along.
02:07In the meantime, just think of this as on-the-job training.
02:09They're 36 hours behind schedule.
02:14There's a battle, and we are in the process of winning it.
02:20Winning and losing is not our concern.
02:24Living or dying is.
02:26Carl, if you don't look at him right now, he's gonna die.
02:32He's dead now.
02:34Right now.
02:36I can give him a quick examination tonight.
02:39Thank you very much, sir.
02:41We need reinforcements and above all, ammunition.
02:45Till the general are coming.
02:48They're coming tonight.
02:50Two days, they said.
02:53We've been here nine.
02:55Why didn't we just try to brush through?
02:58Well, as you'll know, I've always thought that we tried to go a bridge too far.
03:03Let's go.
