Story Analysis

The tragic story of German teenagers defending an insignificant bridge during WWII's final days

History, TV Movie, War · 4.3/10 · 100 min · 2008

A group of German boys is ordered to protect a small bridge in their home village during the waning months of the second world war. Truckloads of defeated, cynical Wehrmacht soldiers flee the approaching American troops, but the boys, full of enthusiasm for the "blood and honor" Nazi ideology, stay to defend the useless bridge.
