The Bridge On The River Kwai will finish at approximately 10:19pm.

British soldiers in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp build a bridge as a futile exercise under the single minded leadership of British colonel Alec Guiness - while ally William Holden plots to destroy it. Psychological battle of wills combined with high powered action sequences make this an incredibly intense film. Winner of seven academy awards including best picture, best director, best actor.
