By reading over an article such as this one, you are likely looking to learn a little more about what could possibly have been one of the best films to have been released in 1998, "Saving Private Ryan". There is a lot to learn about this movie in general, but the main things that you should know will be revealed within this article along with a brief plot synopsis.

It is no surprise that the man behind all of the action of this impressive film was none other than one of the most decorated directors of all time: Steven Spielberg. From his impressive feats to bring emotion to the audience through visual displays unlike anything they had ever seen before, this film does not disappoint.

One of the most gripping portions of the film rests within the entirety of the first thirty minutes. This features a true to life re-enactment of the storming of the beaches in Normandy on D-Day. You are not given any chances to catch your breath as you receive a very realistic perspective on the hell of war. So for nearly half of an hour, you are another soldier participating in securing the beaches for the Allies.

After this intense opening, you are introduced to the company that will serve as the main characters of the film. The leader of this group is Captain John H. Miller. A short time later, Miller receives his orders for himself and his men. They are to be the search and rescue team to find a paratrooper named Private James Ryan.

The reason they are trying to find Private Ryan is because his other three brothers in the Army had all been killed in action and the Army felt that he deserved to go home to his family. Needless to say, the company is divided on whether or not this is actually worth all the trouble to find Ryan, let alone watch him get a ticket home.

Through the course of the film, you share triumph and tragedy with the men of this company. You learn more about their lives before the war, and their plans for when it is all said and done. When they do reach Ryan, he is given the news and still refuses to leave his current company. They are responsible to secure an Allied bridge. If Ryan leaves, they may not be able to do this and Miller's company aids them in making a heroic stand that is both a tragedy and a triumph rolled into one.

This is an accurate depiction of all of the emotions and feelings that are relative to being at war. You are crying when the men are crying, you are scared when they are, and you celebrate when they do. This is an instant classic that everyone should see if they get a chance to, if nothing else for the incredible performances by Matt Damon (Ryan), Tom Hanks (Miller) and Tom Sizemore (Sgt. Mike Horvath).

If you cared to learn more about Saving Private Ryan, than this article should have given you a great introduction to this film and given you a reason to watch it if you haven't. While there are so many things to appreciate about this movie, you will likely appreciate something unique and special as so many have.
