Eight comrades, led by Capt. John H. Miller (Tom Hanks), set off on the dangerous mission of finding that fourth brother, Private Ryan (Matt Damon), and sending him home and out of harm's way. Spielberg won his second Director Oscar, and nominations included Best Picture and Actor (Tom Hanks). In all, the film won five Oscars and was nominated for six others.
