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).

They must first find Private Ryan which is not easy because there is a war on and he is a paratrooper who has been dropped somewhere behind enemy lines.

There is another unforeseen problem in saving him which arises toward the end of the movie, but I will not give it away.

What is the short basic plot of Saving Private Ryan?
On the first day of the D-Day invasion, three brothers were killed in action (one in the Pacific theater). The sole-surviving brother was a paratrooper who landed behind enemy lines. The Army high command learned of this unfortunate loss and took action to find the one son and bring him home safely. Some may not know this but if you were a sole-surviving heir of a family, you were exempt from being drafted into the army. This explains the action taken by the Army command. Since the paratroopers jumped into France at night and under heavy fire, they were scattered all over the area of Normandy. A special team of Rangers were selected to go find Pvt Ryan. The inspiration of this story came from Tom Hanks reading Ambrose's book "The Band of Brothers", which is about Company E, 506th PIR of the 101st Paratrooper Infantry Division. In this book, it briefly mentions that one paratrooper was sent home after his brother was killed in action. This inspired the story of searching for a paratrooper behind the lines. It follows the rescue team as they meet various obstacles and have to fight small battles, resulting in loss of their team members. Eventually, they find Pvt Ryan, who refuses to leave his fellow paratroopers until they complete their mission. There is a final battle to hold a bridge from attack by a armored German force. The moving part of the movie is the scene of the returning veteran as he walks through the American Cemetery at Collieville Sur Mur and gives his last respects to those lost in this action. Steven Spielberg also got ahold of the story and wanted to make the movie, too. Tom and Steven eventually met and agreed to make the movie together. "The Band of Brothers" was made into a TV mini-series by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
