''The Tunnel'' is the 2013 French/English remake of the Swedish/Danish ''Series/BronBroen'', and not to be confused with the American/Mexican remake known as ''Series/TheBridgeUS''. Though it closely follows the plot of the original, a key difference (as the title would suggest) is that a body is found in the Eurotunnel rather than on a bridge, right on the border between France and England.
