For my WWII movie, I watched "Saving Private Ryan". It starts with Private Ryan going to Arlington Cemetery to Captain Miller's grave. While there, he has a flashback, and it starts with the storming of Normandy. Captain Miller and his unit find a way up the beach and start taking over to allow fellow countrymen up the beach with them. Then when Normandy is over, and they get to camp, Captain Miller is given a special mission. The mission was to go find Private Ryan and take him home to his mother who has already lost three of her four sons. Captain Miller selects a elite fighting force to go and find him somewhere throughout France. Finally they find Private Ryan defending one of two bridges still standing. But instead of going home right away, they stay to help protect the bridge, who only have a handful of men left and a limited supply of ammo. The Germans come in hundreds and the brave fighters fight them long enough for reinforcements to come and take over the battle for them. Sadly, Captain Miller dies in battle but Private Ryan is saved.
