Bridge, The

Synopsis: This Oscar-nominated classic by Bernhard Wicki is a gripping and shocking anti-war movie. Seven schoolboys, still under-age, are drafted into the German Army during the last days of the war in April 1945. Without any training, they receive the order to defend a bridge against advancing American troops. Filled with fervour and patriotic enthusiasm, they believe that fighting for their homeland is the greatest honour. Unaware that the bridge is strategically useless and will be blown up anyway, the boys take their orders very seriously, with many paying the ultimate price. An uncompromising look at the cruelity and absurbity of war.
