遥远的桥A Bridge Too Far Movie Script

It's large enough for your needs, it's flat and firm.

- It's also easily defended.

- Where the hell is it?

Well, it's not actually on this photograph.

It should be... Excuse me, sir... It would be about here, I think.

That could be ten miles from the bridge.

It's just under eight actually, sir, if you'd like to have a look at this.

You see, the terrain is easy to traverse.

All our information substantiates that.

Yes, sir?

Just making sure whose side you're on.

Now, a drop zone eight miles from Arnhem Bridge... might be thought by some to present problems.

My God, he can't mean it.

I'm afraid he does.

Must know what he's doing.

That's more than I know. Why should he have a corner on the market?

...cannot under any stretch of the imagination be considered ideal.

But the gliders will be bringing in a reconnaissance squadron of jeeps... specially fitted with twin Vickers machine guns.

The instant we land, they will race ahead to the bridge... and hold it... until the other battalions arrive on foot.

And they'll be quick enough to secure both ends of Arnhem Bridge?

- Most certainly.

- Good.

My headquarters will be in the center with 82nd.

Now, just you remember that we're all totally interlocked.

This is a bottom-to-top operation.
