The Bridge (1969 film)

The Bridge (Serbo-Croatian: Most, Serbian Cyrillic: Мост) is a 1969 Yugoslav partisan film directed by Hajrudin Krvavac.

[3] In 1944, Standartenführer Hoffmann is assigned as extra security for a vital bridge near the Yugoslav border with Greece as German forces are pulling out of the latter country.

He wants to take a proactive approach towards Yugoslav Partisan threats but Oberst von Felsen, whom Hoffman is reinforcing, disagrees.

Meanwhile, the Partisans want to destroy the bridge to prevent German troops from entering and foiling a planned operation with 5,000 men.

The group recruit Mane, a shady contractor who leads them to the home of the Engineer who designed the bridge, which is too sturdy to be demolished without intricate knowledge of its structure.

The following day, Hoffman’s troops attack the home and find a message left by a mole in the group revealing the location of the explosives.

Hoffman is able to secure the explosives cache at a nearby convent before Tiger’s group, but is unable to stop a nun from warning them about the ambush.
