Out of the sky comes the screen's most incredible spectacle of men and war! In September 1944, flush with the success after the Normandy invasion, the Allies confidently launched Operation Market Garden, a bold plan to drop 35,000 British paratroops into Eastern Holland and to secure the six major bridges leading to the German border to end World War II by the end of 1944. But a combination of battlefield politics, faulty intelligence, bad luck and even worse weather led to disaster. Based on the Cornelius Ryan best-selling novel.
