In early 18th century Peru an old Inca rope bridge collapses, plunging five travelers to their deaths in the Andean chasm below. Brother Juniper, who was within minutes of being on the bridge himself, becomes obsessed with discovering how five people of differing class and circumstances came to be on the bridge at that moment. The Catholic friar wants to know if it was mere existential happenstance or part of God's cosmic plan. After researching the lives of the victims for five years and publishing his findings in a book, he is accused of heresy by the worldly Archbishop of Lima and is put on trial for his life by the Inquisition.
Leave your thoughts about The Bridge of San Luis Rey.
| VarietyJonathan HollandThe stellar cast can do little to paper over the cracks in an awkward, unevenly-paced script that is composed of a series of sometimes-attractive scenes with little emotional undertow. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchUnlike the bridge, the movie unravels at a very slow pace. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonAfter watching this movie, which stars Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Kathy Bates and Gabriel Byrne, I was moved only to find my own bridge to leap from. |
| Draxblog Movie ReviewsDragan Antulovleaves audience with the same unanswered question as the one asked by its narrator |

| BrandonFibbs.comBrandon FibbsThe Bridge of San Luis Rey is a beautiful movie. The film's shooting locations are exquisite. The sets are stunning. The costumes are gorgeous. The actors are superlative. Too bad the movie sucks. |
| Time OutStephen GarrettWhy do good actors pop up in bad movies? More perplexingly, why do so many good actors end up in the same bad movie? |
| User ReviewDonald Done of my favorite movies, can't see why it got such bad reviews. |
