Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 American war film set during the invasion of Normandy in World War II. It was directed by Steven Spielberg, with a screenplay by Robert Rodat. The film is notable for the intensity of its opening 27 minutes, which depicts the Omaha Beach assault of June 6, 1944. Afterwards, it follows Tom Hanks as U.S. Army Captain John H. Miller and seven men (Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Barry Pepper, Vin Diesel, Giovanni Ribisi, Adam Goldberg, and Jeremy Davies), as they search for a paratrooper, Private First Class James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon), who is the last surviving brother of four servicemen.
《拯救大兵瑞恩》(Saving Private Ryan)是美國經(jīng)典戰(zhàn)爭電影之一,描述諾曼底登陸后,瑞恩家4名于前線參戰(zhàn)的兒子中,除了隸屬101空降師二等兵的小兒子詹姆斯·瑞恩仍下落不明外,其他3個兒子皆已于兩周內(nèi)陸續(xù)戰(zhàn)死。美國陸軍參謀長馬歇爾上將得知此事后出于人道考量,特令前線組織一支8人小隊,只為在人海茫茫、槍林彈雨中找出生死未卜的二等兵詹姆斯·瑞恩,并將其平安送回后方。該片最為人津津樂道的是開頭的諾曼底登陸搶灘場面,相當(dāng)程度重現(xiàn)了當(dāng)年的殘酷與慘烈。
