Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Opening with the Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, members of the 2nd Ranger Battalion under Cpt. Miller fights ashore to secure a beachhead. Amidst the fighting, two brothers are killed in action. Earlier in New Guinea, a third brother is KIA. Their mother, Mrs. Ryan, will receive all three grave telegrams on the same day. The United States Army Chief of Staff, George C. Marshall, is allowed to alleviate some of her grief when he learns of a fourth brother, Private James Ryan, and decides to send out eight men (Cpt. Miller and select members from 2nd Rangers) to find him and bring him back home to his mother.
