CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Severely wounded, Capt.
Miller (Tom Hanks) takes his final stand against an approaching tank.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Steven Spielberg directed this powerful, realistic re-creation of
WWII's
D-day invasion and the immediate aftermath. The story opens with a prologue in which a veteran brings his family to the
American cemetery at
Normandy, and a flashback then joins Capt.
John Miller (
Tom Hanks) and GIs in a landing craft making the
June 6, 1944, approach to
Omaha Beach to face devastating
German artillery fire. This mass slaughter of American soldiers is depicted in a compelling, unforgettable 24-minute sequence.
Miller's men slowly move forward to finally take a concrete pillbox.
On the beach littered with bodies is one with the name "
Ryan" stenciled on his backpack.
Army Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall (
Harve Presnell), learning that three Ryan brothers from the same family have all been killed in a single week, requests that the surviving brother, Pvt.
James Ryan (
Matt Damon), be located and brought back to the
United States. Capt.
Miller gets the assignment, and he chooses a translator, Cpl. Upham (
Jeremy Davis), skilled in language but not in combat, to join his squad of right-hand man Sgt. Horvath (
Tom Sizemore), plus privates
Mellish (
Adam Goldberg),
Medic Wade (
Giovanni Ribisi), cynical Reiben (
Edward Burns) from
Brooklyn, Italian-American Caparzo (
Vin Diesel), and religious Southerner
Jackson (Barry Pepper), an ace sharpshooter who calls on the
Lord while taking aim.
Having previously experienced action in
Italy and
North Africa, the close-knit squad sets out through areas still thick with Nazis. After they lose one man in a skirmish at a bombed village, some in the group begin to question the logic of losing more lives to save a single soldier. The film's historical consultant is
Stephen E. Ambrose, and the incident is based on a true occurance in
Ambrose's
1994 bestseller
D-Day: June 6, 1944.
