Torrent description

Plot Outline:

The film deals with the situation of British
prisoners of war during World War II who are
ordered to build a bridge to accommodate the
Burma-Siam railway. Their instinct is to
sabotage the bridge but, under the leadership
of Colonel Nicholson, they are persuaded that
the bridge should be constructed as a symbol
of British morale, spirit and dignity in adverse
circumstances.

At first, the prisoners admire Nicholson when
he bravely endures torture rather than compromise
his principles for the benefit of the Japanese
commandant Saito. He is an honourable but arrogant
man, who is slowly revealed to be a deluded
obsessive. He convinces himself that the bridge
is a monument to British character, but actually
is a monument to himself and his insistence on
its construction becomes a subtle form of
collaboration with the enemy.

Unknown to him, the Allies have sent a mission
into the jungle, led by Warden and an American,
Shears, to blow up the bridge.
