The Bridge on the River Kwai
The Bridge on the River Kwai
Adult Audiovisual DVD - Bri

Based on the Pierre Boulle novel, this David Lean adventure epic was written by uncredited, blacklisted screenwriters Carl Foreman and Michael Wilson (who were eventually given posthumous credit for the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar it won in 1958), revolves around British POWs in a Japanese prison camp who are forced to work on the construction of the Burma Railway (against Geneva conventions). While a fictional story, the real-life POWs it is based on were subjected to far harsher conditions than the movie depicts.
