N1  - Based on the 1958 novel "Die Brücke" by Manfred Gregor
N2  - From case cover:
In one of the most viciously realistic war films ever made, The Bridge takes you to a time and place that no longer exists: Germany 1945, in the final hours of the war.
As the war rages to its bitter climax, eight sixteen-year-old German schoolboys are drafted into the Wehrmacht as a last resort to defend a bridge to their town. With patriotic enthusiasm, the boys struggle bravely but futilely to carry out their orders against advancing American troops and tanks.
Bernhard Wicki directed this brutally cool and realistic true account that quickly won world wide acclaim: an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film and a Golden Globe Award, as well as many International Film Awards.
It is a film you will remember for years to come- a film of youth trapped in the fires of Hell
