BAND OF BROTHERS

The television adaptation of Stephen E. Ambrose’s 1992 non-fiction book Band of Brothers was a collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, who were also the producers of the 1998 World War II film Saving Private Ryan. The announcement of this series was bound to ignite many viewers as the men behind it were huge names in the Industry.

With cast names like Damien Lewis and Ron Livingston, audiences were promised a very engrossing series. The episodes were written wonderfully, and the show spawned another television series called The Pacific, which, to a huge degree, many considered a spinoff of the original.
