Product description

Classic British war film based on the novel by Pierre Boulle in which a group of prisoners of war are forced to build a bridge in Burma for the Japanese. Colonel Nicholson (Alec Guinness) is the appointed leader of the men interned in the camp and when the Japanese commander, Colonel Saito (Sessue Hayakawa), orders his captives to build a bridge across the River Kwai, Nicholson agrees on the basis that the project will keep his men occupied and give them an opportunity to prove, through the quality of their work, the superiority of British engineering. However, as the bridge progresses and the prisoners strive to show their craftsmanship, Nicholson appears to lose sight of the fact that the ultimate object of the bridge is to help the Japanese win the war. The impending arrival of a British commando team, sent to destroy the bridge, looks set to provide a stern test of where the true loyalties of the increasingly obsessive Nicholson lie.

Handsome Steelbook Release of and All-Time Great Movie and a David Lean Classic!

Reviewed in the United States on 4 July 2016

Verified Purchase

This sturdy steelbook release of David Lean's best movie after "Lawrence of Arabia" is a real treat for collectors and fans alike. The picture and sound quality at DTS 5.1 Surround is light years ahead of the standard dvd release that this replaces in my movie library. While not historically accurate this movie does achieve its purpose of highlighting the insanity and needless waste that is war. Sir Alec Guinness who originally didn't even want the part has made the role his own and I'm unable to see anyone else as Col Nicholson just as he did with Obi Wan Kenobi in "Star Wars IV-VI". His was not the only standout performance though as even William Holden and Jack Hawkins both turn in masterful performances back in the day when stars could actually act and when the films actually made you think and had substance.

For those who love the movie and are happy with the one disc main course with some special features and didn't want to get the earlier release box set with postcards and all the other extras this steelbook release will likely satisfy.
