Teamed with Spielberg again, how could this not be a hit. The movie and Hanks were. As a captain of a small squad following the ‘D-Day’ invasion in search of the last surviving brother of a soldiering family, Hanks gives one of his most genuine performances. While the film is remembered mostly for its graphic opening scenes of the Normandy invasion, Hanks was nominated for his fourth Best Actor Oscar.
