Saving Private Ryan

CriticsCritics: 93
AudienceAudience: 8.5

During the D-Day invasion of Normandy, a captain and his squad learn that three brothers have died in battle and a fourth is missing behind enemy lines. They are sent across dangerous territory to find the young soldier and bring him home, confronting the risks and moral weight of their mission.

My take

You’ll like this if you want a gripping, emotionally charged World War II story about courage, sacrifice, and comradeship; not for you if graphic violence, bleak war scenes, or a debatable rescue mission put you off.
