The classic story of English POWs in Burma forced to build a bridge to aid the war effort of their Japanese captors. British and American intelligence officers conspire to blow up the structure, but Col. Nicholson, the commander who supervised the bridge's construction, has acquired a sense of pride in his creation and tries to foil their plans.
A rigid colonel finds his sense of duty colliding with the reality of helping the enemy. This clash between professional pride and wartime survival turns a construction project into a psychological battlefield.
