How it feels
U.S. Navy pilots are assigned to bomb heavily defended bridges in North Korea during the Korean War. The film focuses on the personal lives and dangers faced by the pilots and crew in a conflict that feels distant to most people but is very real for those fighting.

What happens
The Bridges at Toko-Ri is a 1954 American war film about the Korean War and stars William Holden, Grace Kelly, Fredric March, Mickey Rooney, and Robert Strauss. The film, which was directed by Mark Robson, was produced by Paramount Pictures. Dennis Weaver and Earl Holliman make early screen appearances in the film. The screenplay is based on the 1953 novel The Bridges at Toko-ri by Pulitzer Prize winner James Michener. The story, which closely follows the novel, is about the U.S. Navy pilots assigned to bomb a group of heavily defended bridges in North Korea. It emphasizes the lives of the pilots and crew in the context of the Korean War; a conflict that seems remote to all except those who fight in Korea. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
