"The Golden Gate Bridge is the icon of San Francisco. Although it is not the longest suspension bridge any more, its beauty and fame still top all.
The necessity, design, construction, and impact are stated. Computer animation is used for some explanations. The maintenance and security after 9/11 are also addressed. Compared to the counterpart by PBS, this film tries to stay at the balance on many aspects while the PBS version focuses on the people constructing the bridge. In addition, this film has more modern and beautiful footages of the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge while the PBS version has almost its documentary before 1930's.
So if you are just interested in getting a general picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, this one is for you."
