《拯救大兵瑞恩》（Saving Private Ryan）是美国经典战争电影之一，描述诺曼第登陆后，瑞恩家4名于前线参战的儿子中，3个儿子皆已于两周内于海外各战区陆续阵亡，其母亲将在一天内接到三个儿子的死讯。而隶属101空降师二等兵的小儿子詹姆斯·法兰西斯·瑞恩则在参与诺曼地的空降行动后下落不明，美国陆军参谋长马歇尔上将得知此事后出于人道考量，特令在法国前线作战的美国陆军游骑兵组织一支8人小队深入敌后，只为在人海茫茫、枪林弹雨中找出生死未卜的二等兵雷恩，并将其平安送回后方。

该片最为人津津乐道的是开头的奥马哈海滩抢滩场面，相当程度重现了当年的残酷与惨烈。该片由史蒂芬·史匹柏执导，荣获1998年奥斯卡最佳导演奖在内的5项大奖，票房收入也称冠一时。
