SAVING PRIVATE RYAN 25th Anniversary

Description:

SAVING PRIVATE RYAN would be in the history books for its half-hour opening sequence alone - an intense, hyperrealistic recreation of D-Day. For the subsequent 140 mins, this wrenching film about heroism and sacrifice follows a group of American soldiers venture behind enemy lines to save the only surviving brother in a family. Anchored by an understated Tom Hanks in the lead, this five-time Oscar-winner is also a showcase for the sonic work of Gary Rydstrom and his team of sound wizards who further engulf viewers into the hell of war.
