I IT T R 0 D U C T I 0 ir _ ct during aiul immediately following the invasion Oof Normandy, Saving Private R)ian tells the stt>ry of a squad of American soldiers on a dangerous mission to find Private ]ames Ryan whose three brothers have been killed in combat. On direct orders from Washington, Captain John Miller leads his men deep behind enemy lines. As the squad pushes on, the men find themselves asking: Why is one man worth risking the lives of eight? Amid the chaos and terror of those days in early June 1944, this remarkable story searches to find decency in the sheer madness of war. While preparing to film Saving Private R;yan, hundreds of people spent countless hours researching and re-creating the battles, the landscape, and the destruction of France during those days. One thousand soldiers were employed in filming the landing on Omaha Beach. Original landing boats, guns, and gear were restored to working order. While shooting the battle scenes in strict chronological order, tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition were fired. Every effort was made to capture the harsh reality of war as authentically as possible. World War 11 was perhaps the pivotal event of the twentieth century and a defining moment for America and the world. It shifted the borders of the globe, forever changed those who survived it, and shaped the past five decades.
