Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Saving Private Ryan (49:57) Rated R for rip-snortingly offensive language.

Saving Private Ryan

War! The 121st edition of the T100P digs into the horror & brutality of WWII. The celebrated opening D-Day battle might never be topped for bloody authenticity. Steven Spielberg & Tom Hanks end their AFI days. Is their first major collaboration as great as many think? We could tell you now, but you should just plug in your earbuds and hear our jam session…but get your Sparkplug Coffee first!
