Seen through the eyes of a squad of American soldiers, the story begins with World War II's historic D-Day invasion, then moves beyond the beach as the men embark on a dangerous special mission. Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) must take his men behind enemy lines to find Private James Ryan, whose three brothers have been killed in combat. Faced with impossible odds, the men question their orders. Why are eight men risking their lives to save just one? Surrounded by the brutal realities of war, each man searches for his own answer - and the strength to triumph over an uncertain future with honor, decency and courage.
As I have watched this movie, I was astounded and amazed with this brilliant and perfectly made film. I think no war movie can replace this one. While watching it, it really seems like you're with them in a real war. The plot and story are great! You'll really feel what war is. It's sad, emotional, and historical. You will realize that life is important even with your enemies. Unity and courage are the morals of this movie. I insist you watch this movie. You'll surely enjoy and watch it over and over and over again! I'll give this perfect 10 rating.
