Saving Private Ryan
WWII soldier retrieval
Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 American war film directed by Steven Spielberg, depicting a World War II mission to retrieve a paratrooper whose brothers have been killed in action.
The film's visceral opening sequence depicting the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach redefined how combat is portrayed on screen.
The title has become shorthand for rescue missions involving extraordinary risk: It turned into a real Saving Private Ryan situation.
