A narrative history of the building of the Brooklyn Bridge.

(from DVD jacket) The "Great East River Bridge" was the largest bridge of its era, a technical achievement of unparalleled scope, marked by enormous construction problems, equally ingenious solutions, and heroic human achievement. In unexpected and wonderful ways, the Brooklyn Bridge captured the imagination of all Americans, and in the process became a symbol of American culture of strength, vitality, ingenuity and promise.

In BROOKLYN BRIDGE, Ken Burns captures the physical majesty of this greatest of all achievements of the industrial age, the dramatic story of the larger-than-life men who imagined and built it, and the immense charm this granite and steel structure has exerted on generations of city dwellers.

Other credits: Produced by Ken Burns, Amy Stechler, Buddy Squires, and Roger Sherman
