The movie, Saving Private Ryan, is a World War II movie that starts out by showing the mass carnage that was D-Day. D-Day was a mass landing by the Allies on the beaches of Normandy against the Germans. It showed how people were getting blown apart, the mass confusion of not knowing what to do, and poor planning. The plan was for the beach to be hit with some bombs but the bombers missed their target by about 3 miles. Then a captain took charge and moved people up the beach and secured the location.
The next scene was back in America and the government just found out that there was a family with four brothers fighting in the war and three of them had been killed in action. So, the general decided to send out a rescue mission to save the fourth and youngest. His name was James Ryan.
The same platoon that that took the beach in the first scene was put in charge of this mission. They had to search all over to find where he was stationed and when they finally found him he refused to leave his post until backup arrived. They had a last stand and ended up succeeding in protecting the bridge they were supposed to protect.
I think that they did a great job at re-enacting World War II and showing the bravery of the men who fought. It took the strongest of the strong to do what these men did for their country. I completely agree with this mission to save the third brother, I would have volunteered to go on this mission.
