In 1976, twenty-one-year-old Sebastian Abineri was cast in Richard Attenborough's epic war film, A Bridge TOO MUCH. He signed up with "Attenborough's Private Military" (APA), several fifty young United kingdom actors, who were brought together to teach under the eagle eyeball of a previous director on the SAS to represent the heroic band of Paratroopers who presented Arnhem Bridge against insurmountable probabilities in 1944. The APA worked well for half a year alongside major celebrities such as Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Sir Laurence Oliver. It had been one of the hottest summers on record; so hot that the APA drank the local bars dried up! The Boys from the Bridge recounts their extraordinary story.
