The 1998 World War II film is perhaps the most famous war film of all time and is regarded by many as being the most realistic depiction of combat ever committed to the big screen. The film’s first thirty minutes follow the Normandy Landings, and specifically at Omaha Beach. The film then switches to following a squad of American soldiers as they penetrate deep behind enemy lines to search for an American paratrooper named Ryan, who’s three brothers have all been killed in combat.
