The story of Operation Market Garden—a failed attempt by the allies in the latter stages of WWII to end the war quickly by securing three bridges in Holland allowing access over the Rhine into Germany. A combination of poor allied intelligence and the presence of two crack German panzer divisions meant that the final part of this operation (the bridge in Arnhem over the Rhine) was doomed to failure.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling, methodical chronicle of a doomed WWII operation that plays out like a military chess match, following multiple units across three days as ambition collides with circumstance. Watching unfolds as a study in how strategy fractures under the weight of reality and chance.
