Anglų belaisviams vadovauja pulkininkas Nikolsonas, kuris laikosi nuomonės, kad, jei jis ir jo kariai Singapūre pasidavė į nelaisvę karo vadovybės nurodymu, tai jis ir nelaisvėje lieka karo tarnyboje. Japonų stovyklos vadas pulkininkas Saito turi įsakymą pastatyti tiltą per Kvai upę. Tilto statyba vyksta labai lėtai. Saito visaip bando priversti anglų karininkus dirbti.

A truck convoy traveling the Burma Road is menaced by a group of smugglers.
They’ve become the human face of inhuman barbarity. Leaders like Hitler, Idi Amin Dada, Stalin, Kim Jong Il, Saddam Hussein, Nicolae Ceausescu, Bokassa, Muammar Kadhafi, Khomeini, Mussolini and Franco governed their countries completely cut off from reality. These paranoid leaders were driven to abuse their power by the pathology of power itself. Dictators are driven by a relentless, thought-out determination to impose themselves as infallible, all-knowing and all-powerful beings. But they are also men ruled by their caprices, uncontrollable impulses, and reckless fits of frenzy, which paradoxically render them as human as anyone else. The abuses they committed were clearly atrocious, yet some of them were as outlandish as the characters portrayed in the film The Dictator. They sunk to depths worthy of Kafka: so incredibly absurd, they are outrageously funny.
