Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 war film directed by Steven Spielberg and
starring Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Vin Diesel, Ted Danson, and many more Hollywood men.
It is set during World War II, beginning with D-Day — namely, Omaha Beach,
where "hell's doors were open" and the Allied soldiers faced the first waves of
Nazi resistance. There, Capt. Miller (Hanks) and his company
slowly penetrate the German defenses leading to a breakout from the beach.Later,
General George C. Marshall receives the news that
three brothers with the last name of "Ryan" have all died in combat,
two during the Normandy landing and the third in the Pacific.
The location of the fourth, who dropped into France as a paratrooper, is unknown.
Miller receives orders to search for the fourth and last Ryan, James (Damon),
so that he can be brought home; Miller quickly assembles a small squad
to go after him.After going through many French cities and losing two men,
Miller's unit finds Ryan. But there's a problem:
Ryan is with a small group of soldiers who have been ordered
to protect a bridge from the Germans, and Ryan steadfastly
refuses to leave behind "the only brothers" he has left.
Outnumbered and outgunned by advancing German forces,
Miller and the rest of his squad put it all on the line for the survival of
just one man.It earned the praise of both audiences and critics alike,
being the highest-grossing domestic film of 1998 (although 2nd worldwide)
and also garnering eleven nominations in that year's Academy Awards
(winning five). A notable fact was that Steven Spielberg won the award
for Best Director but the film itself lost to Shakespeare In Love,
making it one of the few films in the history of the Awards to do so.
