Saving Private Ryan

During the Normandy invasion, a captain and his small team are ordered to cross enemy-held territory and find a missing paratrooper. With the mission placing them in constant danger, the soldiers must confront fear, loyalty, sacrifice, and the devastating human cost of war.

My take

You’ll likely appreciate this if you want intense, emotionally weighty war drama with strong character bonds, but Not for you if graphic violence, bleak themes, or morally complicated patriotism are difficult to watch.
