Der Soldat James Ryan

You land on the beach at Normandy, bullets ripping all around. Two brothers fall, and word comes of a third. But a fourth Ryan remains, somewhere. So you and seven others head out to find him. Spielberg's visceral staging of war redefined the genre for a generation weaned on irony. The film lingers.
