Set during the Korean War, a Navy fighter pilot must come to terms with with his own ambivalence towards the war and the fear of having to bomb a set of highly defended bridges. The ending of this grim war drama is all tension. (imdb)

Only so much pro-navy, anti-red speechifying and sentimentality I can take

What would be an otherwise dull, sexist, racist, and straight-laced anti-Communist screed is made lively by superb cinematography, a nihilistic tone, and frankly jaw-dropping documentary footage and special effects for the time (they hold up better than most movies to this day.) Top Gun before Top Gun.

To its credit, the film doesn't shy from the truth, and questions the morality of war while demonstrating the courage of the ordinary men who willingly face possible (even likely) death. However, it seems that director Mark Robson was more fascinated by the chance to show actual footage of real planes taking off and landing on aircraft carrier, and other such mechanics. The domestic side of the story with Holden and Kelly is banal and flat.

Much too slow to give you any plot, and the eye candy consists of LOTS of ships and planes, which would be a good thing if the action didn't only occur in the last 20 minutes. It had a decent ending until the admiral gives a stupid closing monologue oozing with cliches.

*The Bridges at Toko-Ri* centers on the psychological toll of war through the story of a reluctant reservist pilot called back into service. While I found the movie watchable, it failed to deliver a profound emotional impact, especially with the ending, leaving it an average film overall.

Not bad, some good flight scenes and shots of "vintage" aircraft.

An OK war drama with a few setbacks. The plot and climax felt rushed with little exploration of underlying emotion from the home front or the pilots. On the bright side - this is one of the better Korean War dramas out there. Hollywood didn't cover this war all that much.

Not a personal favorite of mine, but well done.
