The film centers the humanity of the story through the use of several observer type characters: a doctor (James Donald) who cares for the sick and injured at the POW camp and an unnamed group of women who accompany the Allied soldiers on their mission.

A group of British soldiers in WWII are taken prisoner by the Japanese and sent to a POW work camp.

A tremendous film and an amazing accomplishment by Lean. With great direction, writing and acting I can certainly see why it rates as one of the all time great war films.

This movie is enormous in every way , each shot in the movie captures huge environments and massive amounts of actors with each a job to do.
