5 Oscars · 79 wins · 75 nominations
After the Normandy landings, portrayed in an opening sequence of devastating rawness, the American command discovers that three brothers from one family have died in combat and that a fourth, Private Ryan, is still alive behind enemy lines. Captain John Miller is ordered to push into German territory with a squad of eight men to find him and bring him home. As they advance, his soldiers wonder whether it makes sense to risk so many lives for a single one. Spielberg delivers a war story of brutal realism and deep moral resonance about sacrifice, brotherhood and the meaning of duty amid chaos.
