NOTE: Based on the novel by Cornelius Ryan, A Bridge Too Far is an intense, historically accurate depiction of the infamous "Operation: Market Garden". It has it's faults, but overall it's a good war movie, with some pretty impressive battle scenes. However, don't be fooled by the PG rating - this film is very gritty, and contains some strong language. Not for young audiences.
