Nach der Landung in der Normandie starteten die sieggewohnten Allierten im September 1994 die Operation "Market Garden". Ihr gewagter Plan sah vor, den 2. Weltkrieg durch einen raschen Vorstoß ins industrielle Herz Deutschlands in kurzer Zeit zu beenden. Doch eine Kombination aus kriegspolitischen Querelen, ungenügender Aufklärung, Pech und schlechtem Wetter führten zu einem Desaster. "Die Brücke von Arnheim" ist die epische Verfilmung eines tragischen Fehlschlags. Sie schildert die Ausführung eines ehrgeizigen Plans, dessen Scheitern mehr allierten Soldaten das Leben kostete, als die Invasion in der Normandie. Mit einem bemerkenswerten Staraufgebot, historisch exakt und an den Originalschauplätzen verfilmt, verdeutlicht der Film, wie gewaltig die Chancen, aber auch die Gefahren waren, die hinter einem der größten militärischen Wagnisse der Geschichte steckten.
