SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
Sundance, 8:00 p.m. ET
This Steven Spielberg war movie, with its memorable images, spectacular action scenes, and touching performances, brought WWII alive in a way that still resonates. That film, starring Tom Hanks as a weary but dedicated Army captain tasked with locating and bringing back safely a family’s last surviving son, is now 22 years old. Matt Damon, at the time he co-starred as Private Ryan, was 27 years old. And now that Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita, have tested positive for the coronavirus, there’s even more reason to watch this film empathically, and with extra vested emotion.
