Steven Spielberg directed this powerful, realistic re-creation of WWII's D-day invasion and the immediate aftermath. When Army Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall, learns that three Ryan brothers from the same family have all been killed in a single week, he requests that the surviving brother, Pvt. James Ryan, be located and brought back to the United States. A close-knit squad of US soldiers sets out behind enemy lines to try to save their comrade.
