Lt. Colonel Nicholson leads a group of British POWs when they arrive at a Japanese detention camp in Thailand in the early months of 1943. US Navy Commander Shears describes the dreadful circumstances. Nicholson forbids any escape efforts because they were told to surrender by headquarters and escapes could be interpreted as disobeying instructions. Also, it is very difficult to escape due to the neighboring dense jungle. The camp’s commandant, Colonel Saito, tells the new arrivals that all of them, including officers, will work on building the railway bridge over the River Kwai that will link Bangkok and Rangoon. Saito is informed by Nicholson that soldiers are exempt from manual labor under the Geneva Convention. The British medical officer, Major Clipton, tells Saito that there are too many witnesses for him to get away with murder after the enlisted men are marched to the location of the bridge. Saito then threatens to shoot the officers. Saito leaves the cops standing in the sweltering heat all day. That evening, Nicholson is beaten and imprisoned in an iron box while the officers are put in a discipline hut.Editor’s Picks
The Bridge On The River Kwai Quiz
Shears is unknowingly taking advantage of his medical stay in Ceylon while attending a commando training facility called “Force 316” (likely modeled after the actual Force 136 of the Special Operations Executive (SOE)). Shears accepts the invitation from Major Warden of SOE to take part in a commando operation to destroy the bridge as it is being built. Shears attempts to escape the assignment by admitting that he impersonated an officer in the hopes that the Japanese will treat him better. Warden replies that he already knew and that, in order to save face, the US Navy had agreed to transfer him to the British SOE with the fictitious title of Major. Shears offers because he knows he has no other option. Also, you will find out which character are you in this The Bridge On The River Kwai quiz. One commando, Chapman, perishes after falling into a tree, and Warden sustains injuries in a clash with a Japanese patrol and has to be taken on a litter. Warden, Shears, and two other commandos parachute into Thailand. With the aid of Siamese women bearers and their village leader, Khun Yai, he, Shears, and Joyce arrive at the river in time. Shears and Joyce set off explosives on the bridge poles during the night. The next day, the first train carrying important dignitaries and troops is due to cross the bridge, and Warden intends to obliterate both. The wire that connects the explosives to the detonator is partially exposed by dawn because the river level has fallen. When Nicholson notices the cable, Saito is alerted to it. They dash to the riverbank to look as the train arrives. In charge of the explosives, Joyce emerges from hiding and kills Saito with a knife. While trying to prevent Joyce from getting to the detonator, Nicholson cries out for assistance. Shears swims across when Japanese fire hits Joyce, but he is struck in the process. What have I done? Nicholson screams after spotting Shears.About the quiz

Nicholson, who is dying, blunders toward the detonator and trips over the plunger, which causes the bridge to explode and the train to crash into the river. The Siamese women accompany the warden as he informs them that he had to prevent anyone from slipping into enemy hands. When Clipton sees the destruction, he shakes his head and utters, “Madness!… Madness!”Also, you must try to play this The Bridge On The River Kwai quiz.For more personality quizzes check this: El Secreto De Sus Ojos Quiz.
