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.

Wow and then some - 4.5 out of 5 (10/14/2002)
"Saving Private Ryan" is one of the first films that I can practically guarantee will be set amongst classics now such as "Casablanca", "Citizen Kane", "2001, A Space Odyssey"... it just has the qualities to it to ensure that legacy.

Most realistic war movie ever made! - 4.75 out of 5 (7/3/2002)
It is beyond me why this movie did not win best picture in 1998. Why did they give it to Shakespeare in Love. I find it almost insulting to all of the men and women who fought and died fithting the Germans in World War 2. This movie should have swept the oscars in my mind. I believe and this is the truth that the academy awards go to the highest bidder. The best war film ever made.
