StoryLine:

In early 1943, a fresh contingent of British POWs arrive at a Japanese prison camp in Burma, led by Colonel Nicholson. One of the inmates he meets is Commander Shears of the U.S. Navy, who describes the horrific conditions. Nicholson forbids any escape attempts because they were ordered by headquarters to surrender, and escapes could be seen as defiance of orders. Dense jungle surrounding the camp renders escape virtually impossible.The Bridge on the River Kwai 1957 Movie Download.

Colonel Saito, the camp commandant, informs the new prisoners they will all work, even officers, on the construction of a railway bridge over the River Kwai that will connect Bangkok and Rangoon. Nicholson objects, informing Saito the Geneva Conventions exempts officers from manual labour. After the enlisted men are marched to the bridge site, Saito threatens to have the officers shot, until Major Clipton, the British medical officer, warns Saito there are too many witnesses for him to get away with murder. Saito leaves the officers standing all day in the intense heat. That evening, the officers are placed in a punishment hut, while Nicholson is locked in an iron box after getting beaten as punishment.The Bridge on the River Kwai 1957 Movie Download.

Shears and two others escape. Only he survives, though he is wounded. He wanders into a Siamese village, is nursed back to health, and eventually reaches the British colony of Ceylon.With the deadline for completion approaching, the work on the bridge is a disaster. The prisoners work as little as possible and sabotage what they can. In addition, the Japanese engineering plans are poor. Should Saito fail to meet the deadline, he would be obliged to commit ritual suicide. Desperate, he uses the anniversary of Japan’s 1905 victory in the Russo-Japanese War as an excuse to save face; he announces a general amnesty, releasing Nicholson and his officers and exempting them from manual labour.
