BACK FROM THE RIVER KWAI is one of the most outstanding war dramas in film history. In this gripping work, prisoners of war build a bridge in the Thai jungle, which is ultimately destroyed by an American bomber. The merciless camp commandant reacts with brutal force, but at the last minute, the survivors are offered a chance for rescue – a perilous journey to Japan begins, constantly threatened by Allied attacks.
For lovers of masterpieces like APOCALYPSE NOW and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, BACK FROM THE RIVER KWAI is a must-see, impressively portraying the brutality and psychological impact of war.

Important NOTE:
We are pleased to present this classic film by action specialist Andrew V. McLaglen for the first time as an HD scan.
Unfortunately, the only available HD source is an Asian dup-positive which unfortunately has permanently embedded vertical subtitles.
Nevertheless, we have restored the film material as best as possible and now offer as a bonus on the disc an HD upscale of the German-language SD version of this exciting war drama - of course without the subtitles and for the first time also with selectable original sound.
