The Essential War Collection

A Bridge Too Far
In September 1944, flush with success after the Normandy Invasion, the Allies confidently launched Operation Market Garden, a wild scheme intended to put an early end to the fighting by invading Germany and smashing the Reich's war plants. But a combination of battlefield politics, faulty intelligence, bad luck and even worse weather led to the disaster beyond the Allies' darkest fear.

The Great Escape
One of the most ingenious and suspenseful adventure films of all time, The Great Escape is a masterful collaboration between director John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven), screenwriters James Clavell ('Shogun') and W.R. Burnett and composer Elmer Bernstein. Based on a true story.

Battle Of Britain
This is a spectacular retelling of a true story that shows courage at its inspiring best. Few defining moments can change the outcome of war . But when the outnumbered Royal Air Force defied unsurmountable odds in engaging the German Luftwaffe, they may well have altered the course of history!

The Bridge at Remagen
An all-star cast - including George Segal, Robert Vaughan, Ben Gazzara and E.G. Marshall - brings all the glory and agony of war to stunning life in this intense and exhilarating, but uniquely human look at a struggle widely regarded as the most strategic coup of World War II. Excellent special effects, spectacular photography and fine action sequences put you on the front lines of the battle, and with the courageous soldiers who fought it.

1945: The Allies are making their final advance into German territory and only one strategic bridge on the Rhine river remains in Nazi hands. Both sides have much to gain, the Germans, the lives of 50,000 soldiers stationed on the wrong side of the bridge, and the Allies, a quicker end to the war with fewer lives lost. Though both armies would fight valiantly, only one could win the heart-rending battle for The Bridge at Remagen.
