Dir. Steven Spielberg · United States of America · Czech, English
The mission is a man.
As U.S. troops storm the beaches of Normandy, three brothers lie dead on the battlefield, with a fourth trapped behind enemy lines. Ranger captain John Miller and seven men are tasked with penetrating German-held territory and bringing the boy home.
"Spielberg obviously decided that blood and guts meant just that, and so he arranged his violence into a semblance of pure disorder. The illusion holds, complete with severed limbs and wellsprings of blood, and it feels honorable."
— Anthony Lane
"Spielberg has taken us back to basics -- back to art, back to amazement at the film medium itself."
— David Denby
