Saving Private Ryan
1998
After the chaos of the D-Day landings at Omaha Beach, a U.S. Army captain leads a small squad deep into occupied France on a mission to find and bring home a paratrooper whose three brothers have all been killed in action. The film is bookended by harrowing, viscerally realistic combat sequences that redefined the war genre.
