The Bridge at Remagen (1969) Full Movie

March, 1945. The war in Europe is nearly over, but the fighting is more bitter than ever as U.S. and German troops converge on The Bridge at Remagen. For the Americans, the bridge is the last link to the heart of the Third Reich. For the retreating Germans, it's the last hope. The tension, moral ambiguity and deadly firepower of an actual World War II battle is bracingly captured in The Bridge at Remagen, based on the book by Kenneth William Hechler and directed by John Guillermin (The Towering Inferno). Stars George Segal and Robert Vaughn give remarkable performances as soldiers on opposite sides of the bridge. Segal is U.S. Lieutenant Phil Hartman, suspicious of the gung-ho ambitions of Major Barnes (Bradford Dillman). And Vaughn is Germany's Major Paul Kreuger, who knows that carrying out orders to blow up the bridge would leave retreating German troops trapped behind the Rhine. Soon he faces a severe test. The explosives are in place....and a German troop train is approaching.
