Best WWII movie ever made so far. Definitely one of the most
popular WWII movies ever made so far (if not the most
popular WWII movie ever made).
Taking place in WWII, a missing american soldier named Private James Ryan (Matt Damon) lost all of his brothers in combat.
Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) is ordered to find Private James Ryan hoping to find him before he gets killed and his mother has no living sons left.
Loosely based on a true story during WWII, where an American soldier named Frederick Niland went missing and all of his brothers were thought to be KIA. Being the only
brother/son left in the family, a group of soldiers were ordered to find and save him so he can be discharged and sent
home safely.
The beggining of the movie takes place during D'Day. The D'Day part is intense. The D'Day part was accurate (according to D'Day veterans in real life).
Similar to "Band of Brothers", (a miniseries taking place in WWII involving Tom Hanks as
well as Steven Speilberg).
