Saving Private Ryan is a historic World War II movie released in 1998 and directed by the famous well known Steven Spielberg. It starts of at Private Ryan (as an old man) visiting the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Normandy, France. The scene eventually cuts to June 6, 1944 right before the D-Day invasion. the boats then land on Omaha beach were the soldiers then get of and try to take cover from the German infantry spraying bullets at them. After a while the German forces were defeated and the rest retreated. The movie then vaguely introduces the characters of the Battalion which the movie follows and their leader John Miller (played by Tom Hanks). They are then given there assignment of finding Private Ryan who's other three brothers were killed in the D-day invasion. After given there assignment of locating him so he can go home the Battalion sets of on their journey. Personally, I think that this is the best war movie I have ever seen, even better than Black Hawk down which many people say is amazing. It made a grand total of $481,840,909,and only took 70 million to make. It was nominated for best picture but ddint win, but it did win best director(Steven Spielberg). Saving Private Ryan has made its mark in history as an amazing war movie and its legacy continues to live on.
