The story begins with a group of German soldiers stationed at an outpost in Italy during the final days of World War II. Among them is Lieutenant Hans-Werner Mattern (played by Hans Christian Blech), a seasoned officer who is tasked with defending a strategic bridge from advancing Allied forces.
As the Allied offensive intensifies, Mattern and his men find themselves outnumbered and outgunned, facing overwhelming odds as they attempt to hold off the enemy. With their backs against the wall, they must use all of their training, courage, and resourcefulness to defend the bridge at all costs.
As the battle rages on, Mattern and his men face numerous challenges and setbacks, including heavy artillery bombardments, air raids, and infantry assaults. Despite the odds stacked against them, they refuse to surrender, determined to fulfill their duty and protect the bridge from falling into enemy hands.
Meanwhile, tensions rise among the soldiers as they grapple with the moral implications of their mission and the futility of their cause. Some begin to question the senselessness of war and the sacrifices demanded of them, while others remain steadfast in their commitment to their country and their duty as soldiers.
In a climactic showdown, Mattern and his men face their greatest challenge yet as they come under attack from a massive Allied assault. With their ammunition running low and their defenses crumbling, they must summon all of their courage and resolve to hold the line and prevent the bridge from being captured.
In the end, Mattern and his men make the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives in defense of the bridge and their homeland. Their bravery and sacrifice are honored by their superiors, who recognize their heroism in the face of overwhelming odds (1964).
