In which war is the film saving private Ryan set?
Stephen Ambose wrote the book "A Band of Brothers" which is a historical docmentary the tells the about what happened to a small company in an Airborne regiment. Tom Hanks made this into a TV series. In the book it mentions that one paratrooper had lost two brothers so the Army ordered him back home since he was the sole-surviving heir. Tom Hanks and Spielberg discussed this bit of history and imagined how difficult it would be to locate a paratrooper who could have landed anywhere on the entire Normandy area. Even though the real incident did not require a search team, they formed a story around a team that was sent to locate the one paratrooper. They filled in the story to include details of the characters and based it on totally fictious people. Added August 2011: Whilst some of the above is correct, in fact Saving Private Ryan came before band of Brothers and it was during the filming of Saving Private Ryan that hanks and Spielberg discovered they were both interested in a TV series based on the days after the DDay landings, they decided to collaborate on Band of Brothers as Hanks already had the rights to the book. Saving Private Ryan is a totally fictional story written specially for the film BUT there was in fact some inspiration and this is where the story gets complicated: The Niland brothers are said to have been the inspiration as many of them died during WW2 and 2 are burried in the same cemetary that we see in Saving Private Ryan; side by side above Gold Beach. Then there are the Sullivan brothers all 5 of whom were killed when their boat was torpedoed (one is said to have survived the sinking but was killed in a shark attack shortly after).

What is the name of the feature film that portrayed the events of the D-Day invasion?
"The Longest Day" was the black & white movie that came closest to presenting the events of D-Day in its entirety. It is almost like a documentary as it had sub-titles that identified each of the commanders by name, rank and command. It was based upon Cornelius Ryan's book of the same name that was based upon research and interviews of veterans. Saving Private Ryan showed graphically the horror of warfare at the time.
