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.
