The Bridge on the River Kwai is about a Japanese POW camp during World
war II. The Allied POW's are assigned the task of building a bridge
for their Japanese captors. David Niven plays the part of an allied
officer who takes great pride in building a quality bridge. William
Holden plays a prisoner who escapes from the camp, only to be assigned
the task of returning to the camp to blow up the bridge. It makes for
a great, climactic ending. To quote one of the characters: "It's
madness I say, madness!" |
