Abstract: Un episodio di guerriglia durante la guerra civile spagnola, un ponte che deve essere fatto saltare, un piccolo gruppo di partigiani uniti dall'unica speranza che "un giorno ogni pericolo sia vinto e il paese sia un posto dove si vive bene"; in mezzo a tutto questo, Robert Jordan, il dinamitardo, l'inglés giunto da Madrid per organizzare la distruzione del ponte. Robert è un irregolare nell'esercito repubblicano, un intellettuale votato a una causa che, tra mille dubbi, egli sente non meno sua degli altri: perché al di là di ogni errore e di ogni violenza ci sia pace e libertà per tutti.
