Product Information
In the final days of World War II, German teenagers join the Nazi army in a futile attempt to stop the enemy invasion. A sympathetic officer places the boys as guards of a seemingly unimportant bridge. The seven youths are thrown into battle when American tanks unexpectedly appear and try to cross the bridge. Bernhard Wicki's directorial debut THE BRIDGE (DIE BRUKE) features a understated cast of unknown actors and a definite anti-war message.Product Identifiers
