Sony The Bridge on the River Kwai

British prisoners of war held by the Japanese, along with their commander Colonel Nicholson (Alec Guinness), are forced to build a railway bridge over the River Kwai. In response to the inhumane treatment by the brutal Colonel Saito (Sessue Hayakawa), Nicholson displays extraordinary courage and ingenuity. The bridge becomes a symbol of resistance and the will to survive for him and his soldiers. Meanwhile, the British high command has dispatched a commando team (William Holden, Jack Hawkins, and Geoffrey Horne) to destroy this vital lifeline of the enemy.

David Lean's The Bridge on the River Kwai won 7 Oscars. Best Picture, Best Actor (Alec Guinness), and Best Director (David Lean) are just a few of the prestigious awards for this classic film.
