Listen "Saving Private Ryan (with Dane DeBrunner)"
Episode Synopsis
Is it hell on earth or is it military propaganda? We investigate and discuss one of the most monumental achievements of Steven Spielberg’s career, Saving Private Ryan, starring Tom Hanks.
Set during World War II, the film follows a group of soldiers on a mission to locate Private James Francis Ryan and bring him home safely after his three brothers have been killed in action.
Winner of five Academy Awards including Best Director, the film was the highest-grossing movie of 1998. It is cemented as one of the most harrowing and influential depictions of war, particularly for its legendary opening sequence showing the storming of Omaha Beach in Normandy on D-Day 1944.
