Band of Brothers (Blu-ray)
|
| | | They Depended on Each Other. And the World Depended on Them.
Features: DVD
Based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose, Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. They were an elite rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a unit that suffered 150 percent causalities, and whose lives became legend.
"It is doubtful that any war movie on the large or small screen has captured the varied experiences of ordinary soldiers better..." Barry Garron, The Hollywood Reporter
"A triumph on every conceivable level...a brilliant, engrossing, and captivating saga...the new benchmark that all war epics should be judged by." Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
"A massively ambitious undertaking...an important record or depiction of courage." Dan Fienberg, Zap2It.com
"...an immense achievement, raising the bar for combat realism." John Carman, San Francisco Chronicle
"Terrific, wrenching WWII TV-movie telling." Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
