Join us for a special Memorial Day screening of the incomparable, viscerally profound war-epic, Saving Private Ryan. We are pleased to present this film in collaboration with Rhode Island's own World War II Foundation: this screening features a post-film audience Q&A by WWII Foundation president, founder, and filmmaker- Tim Gray.
Internationally acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, Saving Private Ryan, directed by Steven Spielberg, is an unforgettable film achievement that has had a profound and lasting impact throughout the world. Winner of five Academy Awards®️ – including Best Director (Spielberg) – Saving Private Ryan also garnered two Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture (Drama) and Best Director. In the last great invasion, of the last great war, the greatest danger for eight men…was saving one.
Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) takes his men behind enemy lines to find Private James Ryan, whose three brothers have been killed in combat. Surrounded by the brutal realties of war, while searching for Ryan, each man embarks upon a personal journey and discovers their own strength to triumph over an uncertain future with honor, decency and courage.
