Saving Private Ryan is about a military division trying to find a private in the crazy environment of Europe during World War 2. After their landing and taking of Normandy Beach, France, they are put on a mission to find the last soldier of the Ryan family. Both of his brothers died in combat and it was their mission to find and get him home alive. Fighting through many German forces, lead by Captain Miller and 6 men from his 101st division.
I like this movie. I think it's a great example of the struggle for life and the loyalty of the U.S. Army to obey any orders they are given, even if it could mean death for them and everybody they're with. It fits the components of a western in every way. There are plenty of landscape shots of the soldiers walking to their destination. The outlaws are the Nazis and the enforcers are the U.S. troops over there. The whole story is a journey, those 7 men travel all around Europe to find Private James Francis Ryan. They're chasing after him the whole movie and at the end, they have to make a stand which turns out to be fatal most of the unit, including Captain Miller.
