During World War II, the Japanese army occupied a prisoner-of-war camp on the border of Myanmar. Due to strategic needs, the Japanese planned to build a large bridge at the border between Myanmar and Thailand, hoping that the prisoners of war would contribute to the effort. However, Colonel Nicholson, the representative of the British prisoners (played by Alec Guinness), believed this violated the Geneva Convention and refused to comply. As a result, Nicholson and others were placed in solitary confinement, but without Nicholson's leadership, the prisoners became uncooperative, and due to deficiencies in Japanese design, the bridge construction came to a standstill. The Japanese army had no choice but to release Nicholson and others; after being freed, Nicholson felt that in a destructive war, it was better to contribute to something constructive, so he began to engage in the bridge-building work. Meanwhile, the escaped American prisoner Shears (played by William Holden) accepted a special mission from the Allies to blow up the bridge on the day it was completed.
