Summary

We conclude our “Matt Damon Just Wants To Go Home” series with the one that started it all: Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg’s WWII odyssey about a group of soldiers on a mission to rescue one ordinary man. There’s plenty of Odyssey connections, and even some Band of Brothers talk. Join us as we bring Matt Damon home, one last time (until Christopher Nolan does this summer, that is).
