The Bridge on the River Kwai

In occupied Burma, Japanese forces compel British prisoners of war to construct a vital railway bridge across the Kwai River, amidst a backdrop of Allied efforts to disrupt the project through a bold sabotage mission.

In a Japanese internment camp during World War II, Allied prisoners are forced to build a bridge for the Burma-Siam railway. Initially, they consider sabotaging the project, but under the leadership of Colonel Nicholson, they decide to build the bridge to boost morale and spirit. However, the prisoners soon come to see the bridge as a monument to Nicholson's ego and a form of collaboration with the enemy.
