Saving Private Ryan

On the 76th anniversary of D-Day, our journey through the Tom Hanks filmography brings us to Saving Private Ryan. Everyone remembers Steven Spielberg's war epic for its incredible 25-minute Omaha Beach scene, but the rest of the film is just as terrific. Join us as we discuss this eclectic cast — Vin Diesel, Edward Burns, Dennis Farina, Ted Danson! — and what might be the finest Hanks performance of all time.
