On the morning of June 6, 1944, the beginning of the Normandy invasion, American soldiers prepare to land on Omaha Beach.
They struggle against German infantry, machine gun nests, and artillery
fire. Captain John H. Miller survives the initial landing and assembles
a group of soldiers to penetrate the German defenses, leading to a
breakout from the beach.
In Washington, D.C., General George Marshall is informed that three of the four brothers of the Ryan family were killed in action
and that their mother is to receive three telegrams to inform her of
that. He learns that the fourth son, Private First Class James Francis
Ryan, is a paratrooper, and is missing in action somewhere in Normandy. Marshall, after reading Abraham Lincoln's Bixby letter, orders that Ryan must be found and sent home immediately.
Three days after D-Day, Miller receives orders to find Ryan and bring
him back from the front. He assembles six men from his company,
Horvath, Reiben, Mellish, Caparzo, Jackson, and Wade, plus one man
detailed from another unit, Upham, a cartographer
who speaks French and German. Miller and his men move out to Neuville.
On the outskirts of the town, they meet a platoon from the 101st Airborne Division.
After entering the town, Caparzo is shot by a sniper. Jackson is able
to kill the sniper, but Caparzo dies. They locate a Private James
Frederick Ryan, but soon realize that he is not their man. They find a
member of Ryan's regiment who informs them that his drop zone was at Vierville
and that his and Ryan's companies had the same rally point. Once they
reach it, Miller locates a friend of Ryan's, who reveals that Ryan is
defending a strategically important bridge over the Merderet River in the town of Ramelle.
