What is Saving Private Ryan about? Toggle content

The year is 1944. The largest Allied invasion in history has just taken place on the beaches of Normandy. But for Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) and his squad of eight men, the battle is far from over. Their mission? To find and rescue Private James Ryan (Matt Damon), the last surviving brother of four servicemen from the same family, who is stranded behind enemy lines. With impossible odds against them, Miller's men must navigate dangerous terrain, fierce enemy fire, and their own personal demons to complete their mission and bring Ryan home.
