Is the mission worth the man? This question must be answered by Captain John Miller, as he takes his fellow platoon of soldiers deep behind German fortifications in occupied France. Following the infamous D-Day invasion Captain Miller and his men must traverse the dangerous Nazi infested countryside to find Private James Ryan, so that he may return home among the chaos that is war.
Not only one of the finest war movies ever crafted, but one of the finest human dramas ever filmed. Through the backdrop of World War II, Spielberg delivers us right into the action, suspense and heart felt drama. Filmed in a guerrilla style like approach helps to enhance the realism of this film. Perfectly acted by Hanks and company, one will find themselves immersed and truly caring for these characters as the film plays on. Said to have made veterans weep during its release and during its intense first thirty mins, as its depiction of the events of D-Day upon the beaches of Normandy to be the most realistic and finest ever captured on film. The world of war torn Europe and the brave men who fought there is brought to life with not only the masterful direction of Spielberg, but with the haunting and heroic score by John Williams. Hanks delivers one of his finest performances, and this movie is one of the finest to ever have been made.
