Based on the screenplay by ROBERT RODAT
Introduction
Boys became men as they crossed the killing zone of Omaha Beach often dead men, but men. Running, shouting, screaming, crawling on hands and knees, they moved toward the sea wall. Men whose rifles had sand in them, or who had lost their weapons in the water, grabbed guns from the dead. Shell holes provided temporary shelter; a tank provided cover. As some men were hit, other soldiers picked up the wounded and carried them. Others could not be helped. The sound of wounded and dying men filled the air: "Mama! Mother! Mom!"
Thousands of kilometers from this Normandy beach, a mother in Iowa will soon receive terrible news. Three of her four sons are dead, victims of the war. The Pentagon comes to a quick decision. The fourth brother must com home safely, if it is not too late. The task of bringing him from the killing fields is given to Captain Miller and his men. But can they save him? And can they themselves? This is a story of the real horrors of war, but also of courage and self-discovery.
Praised by audiences and reviewers around the world, Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan is an unforgettable film achievement. The novel based on the movie was written by Max Allan Collins. He has written thrillers, film criticism, short fiction, songs, and other novels from movies and TV series, including In the Line of Fire, Waterworld, and Air force One. Collins has also written, directed, and produced independent films.
