The Bridge is a 1992 independent film based on the novel by Maggie Hemingway.

Directed by Sydney Macartney, it stars Saskia Reeves, David O'Hara, Joss Ackland, Rosemary Harris, Anthony Higgins, and Geraldine James.

In the hot summer of 1887, life seems idyllic when Isobel Hetherington and her three young daughters moved into their seaside residence.

But when Philip Wilson Steer arrives for his annual painting visit, a chain of events set off to change their lives forever.

Overcome by his first sight of Isobel, Steer immediately decides to capture her on canvas; and as the painting grows, so does their love for each other.
