In the last great invasion of World War II, a squad of American soldiers embark on a special mission... to find Private Ryan. Faced with impossible odds, surrounded by the brutalities of war, each man searches for his own answer and the strength to triumph over an uncertain future with honor, decency and courage. ¿́¿A small band of US soldiers are sent on a mission after D-Day to find the lone survivor of four brothers in Normandy. The opening sequence of the movie is a brutal but excellent depiction of the rigours of war. The stress of war depicted offers SAF Officers a possible insight into the strains of combat leadership and the corresponding aftermath.¿́¿ -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 4th Edition. ¿́¿ Recommended Videos.
