Bridge disasters in fiction

The General (1926 film): The fictional Rock River bridge, a wooden trestle bridge purpose-built for the film, is set on fire and later collapses as a train attempts to cross it.
The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1927 novel): An Inca rope bridge in Peru collapses, with the resulting deaths forming the basis for the novel's plot.
The Bridge over the River Kwai (1952 novel) and its 1957 film adaptation The Bridge on the River Kwai: The building and destruction of the eponymous bridge form the basis of the plot. In the novel, the bridge is merely damaged; in the film, it is destroyed.
Ring of Fire (1961 film): An unnamed bridge burns and collapses with the train on it at the film's climax.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966 film): The fictional Branston Bridge is demolished by two of the main characters. The bridge was purpose-built for the film, and needed to be rebuilt and demolished again after the first explosion was set off prematurely.
