The ambush of a German half-track in Saving Private Ryan scores a perfect realism grade from a historian. Hitting theaters in 1998, Steven Spielberg’s World War II movie features Tom Hanks as Miller, an Army Captain tasked with leading a team through occupied France to retrieve the final surviving brother of the Ryan family. Saving Private Ryan is widely considered one of the best war movies ever made, due in large part to its portrayal of D-Day, but realistic depictions of combat can be found throughout the film, including a scene in which Miller’s team ambushes a lone German half-track.
