İkinci Dünya Savaşı bitmek üzeredir. Almanlar, Fransa’da yenilmek üzerelerdir ve müttefikler güçler Normandiya çıkartması sonrası Ren Nehri üzerindeki bir köprüyü ele geçirmek için paraşütçü birliklerini sınıra indirirler. Fakat yapılan stratejik bir hata sonucu paraşütçüler köprünün çok uzağına indirilir. Market Garden adı verilen bu operasyon, bir takım yanlış istihbarat ve stratejiler sonucu tam bir felakete dönüşür. Çünkü askerler Alman Ordusu’nun en güçlü olduğu noktalardan birinin tam ortasına düşmüşlerdir. Cornelius Ryan’ın uzun araştırmaları sonucu yazdığı kitabından uyarlanan Richard Attenborough imzalı film, İngiliz FeldMareşal Bernard Montgomery’nin başarısızlıkla sonuçlanan planının müttefik askerlerini ne gibi bir zor durumla karşı karşıya bıraktığını anlatan İkinci Dünya Savaşı’na dair en gerçekçi savaş filmlerinden biri.

A widowed Latvian father's quest for a much-loved Dutch pen pal, whom he hasn't heard from in three decades, provides the basis of this comedy-drama. The father is accompanied by his traumatized and mute eight-year-old son whom he had to kidnap from a Riga hospital. Together, the two flee towards Holland where the father Yuris hopes to find his long-lost friend Marie, whom he remembers as a great beauty. During the long journey, father and son have several funny adventures, many of which occur because neither father nor son speak much Dutch. They finally arrive at Marie's door empty-handed. What they find, gives them little hope, for the lithe young idealist of Yuris' dreams has become middle-aged and cynical.

The film features a dystopian near-future world which has been split into three. The Third World are the owners of all of the world's resources and are now able to hold the United States and Europe to ransom.
