Our take on Saving Private Ryan

Spielberg's 1998 war film opens with a viscerally unflinching restaging of the D-Day landings, then follows a squad sent behind enemy lines to bring one soldier home. Brutal, intimate and morally searching, it redefined how cinema depicts combat and its cost. If its harrowing realism and questions of sacrifice stayed with you, seek out unflinching war dramas — from Downfall to The Zone of Interest — that confront the human price of conflict.
