Featuring an all-star cast, this classic World War II movie tells the story of Operation Market Garden, one of the most disastrous Allied attacks of the entire war. Operation Market Garden was intended to bring an early end to the war, but bad luck, bad weather, and bad intelligence led to a significant defeat for the Allies. This movie doesn’t compare in realism to later movies, but it is entertaining and provides some insight into this significant battle.
