In the winter of 1944, the Allied Armies stood ready to invade Germany at the coming of a New Year. Most American soldiers think the German army is broken. The Germans think otherwise. In an attempt to launch a decisive counterattack, Hitler orders an all out offensive through the Ardennes to re-take French territory and capture the major port city of Antwerp. For this epic recreation of one of World War II's most crucial confrontations, director Ken Annakin (The Longest Day) captures the explosive action of massive forces squaring off as well as the brave, individual ingenuity of weary GIs trying to survive a cruel European winter. Uniquely designed, The Battle of the Bulge depicts the conflict from the perspective of an American intelligence officer as well as that of a German Panzer Commander. The cast is a juggernaut of stars: Henry Fonda, Robert Shaw, Robert Ryan, Charles Bronson, Telly Savalas and more. Experience the vast panorama of war in all its intensity--and all its heroism.
