In the latter part of World War II, the eastern battlefield of the German army was fought hard, and the British and American forces began a full-scale landing of the large army in the Normandy region of France on June 6, 1944, trying to take the German headquarters Berlin from the west. Before the landing operations of the ground forces, some of the units had airborne to the French inland areas far away from Normandy, trying to assemble with the landing forces after disrupting the deployment capabilities of the harassing German forces in order to further organize a large-scale offensive. Private James Ryan () was thrown far behind the German front. James Ryan is the oldest and youngest of the four brothers in the family. His three elder brothers have been killed in battle in various places within two weeks. After learning of the news, the generals of the U.S. Combat Command decided to send a special team to save her surviving son from the war zone in order to prevent the unfortunate mother from suffering the loss of her son.
The task of the rescue team fell on Captain John Miller () who had just completed the landing mission , and Captain Miller and his troops had just experienced the fierce battle of the Omaha Beach landing battle, with casualties. It’s very big. Miller can’t take a rest at this time. Instead, he must form a small team to start the rescue mission immediately. He hurriedly selected a few of the better soldiers around him, and then temporarily recruited a few from other troops. Specialized arms. While other troops were still resting on the spot, Miller's eight-man squad began to drive straight into the enemy's occupation zone again, looking for a soldier named Ryan in the vast unknown area.
When the soldiers of the squad fell into the enemy zone, all kinds of difficulties and dangers came one after another, the serious shortage of manpower and equipment, the unfamiliarity with language and terrain, and the dangerous enemies that might lie in the corners of the road at any time. They fell one by one to the comrades around them, and they gradually began to doubt the rationality of this task, but despite their doubts, they resolutely implemented the orders of their superiors. The journey of salvation is also like a road to death. After experiencing all kinds of hardships and dangers, the team finally found the soldier Ryan somewhere in a fierce battle. However, Ryan, who had a strong will and sense of responsibility, was unwilling to leave the battlefield with Miller. A large number of enemies are approaching, and the battle is about to start. Ryan and Miller and all their comrades will experience a more severe test.
