    Description

    Following the Normandy Landings, a group of U.S. soldiers go behind enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.

    Сast and Crew

    Production

    In 1994, Robert Rodat's wife gave him the bestseller D-Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II by historian Stephen Ambrose. While reading the book during an early morning walk in a small New Hampshire village, Rodat was "struck by a monument dedicated to those who had died in various wars, particularly because of the repeated last names of brothers who were killed in action". He was inspired by an actual family in Ambrose's book named the Nilands, which had lost two sons in the war and was thought to have lost a third, whose fourth son was "snatched" out of Normandy by the War Department.

    Watched

    A good war drama with excellent direction by Spielberg, incredible action scenes, good acting by Hanks and charismatic characters. The story, although beautiful, is illogical. Translated to English

    Watched

    Unpacking. The opening sequence is great, 10/10, a cinematic achievement. Unfortunately, after that the film goes on for another 2.5 hours, and gradually slides into a sluggish war movie at 5/10, and then into thin Hollywood snot at 3/10. Spielberg at his finest. Translated to English

    Watched

    An incredibly realistic and large-scale film about war. All the technical components here are top notch. Is it that the American flag on the entire screen at the beginning and end of the film is slightly out of topic – after all, they didn’t fight for a separate country, but for world peace [or not?]. Translated to English

    Watched

    Steven Spielberg. Tom Hanks. An excellent war drama with excellent acting, an excellent director and an atmosphere of complete immersion in the theater of operations in Normandy. Translated to English

    Watched

    Until now I have not seen anything better in the genre of war cinema! Translated to English

    Watched

    How the landing scene on Omaha Beach affected me as a 9-year-old boy! Explosions, blood, guts, whistling bullets, cries of "Mom!" I still remember the emotions of what I saw. One of the best war films. Spectacular and large-scale, with cool camera work and cast. Never again! Translated to English

    Watched

    A very emotional war drama. How realistically Spielberg showed all the horror of war. In the end you become very attached to the characters and to the film itself. Hanks, Damon and other actors played great. The best film about military operations that I have seen. This is already a classic! Translated to English

    Watched

    Again, American patriotic nonsense, Stone in "Platoon" managed to depict the horrors of the Vietnam War in a more interesting way, but here the whole film was chasing a random Ryan and everyone almost died in the end. Glory to America, of course. Almost 3 hours of time wasted on pew-pew Translated to English

    This is the best masterpiece about valor. Steven Spielberg made a worthy film about the war, for which he was rightly awarded. This picture touches on an important topic – what is more important: the person or the task? This is the whole point of the film: here the person is the task. 10 of 10 Translated to English

    Watched

    A legendary film, who and where have made references to this film. I don’t know how one can consider this "patriotic nonsense", apparently now people see only the bad in everything good. Translated to English

    Watched

    A very successful war drama, I watched it several times, the impression of the first viewing is impossible to forget. Translated to English

    Watched

    A breathtaking cast led by the best actor of our time, T. Hanks, large-scale battles and scenery, sound, makeup, script, camera work! Truly a great picture about great people carrying a great idea through the horrors of war! Rightfully takes first place in the top military dramas! Translated to English

    A somewhat naive war drama with a touch of American patriotism and Hollywood clichés of the 2000s. Translated to English
