Question: Was movie : Saving Private Ryan, based on true story!?
Answers:
Yes it was!.
sorta!.
The Niland Brothers were four American brothers from Tonawanda, New York, serving in the military during World War II!. Of the four, two survived the war, but for a time it was believed that only one, Frederick Niland, had survived!. Frederick was sent back to the United States to complete his service, and only later learned that his brother Edward, presumed dead, was actually captive in a Japanese POW camp in Burma!. Steven Spielberg's film Saving Private Ryan is loosely based on the brothers' story!.

The four brothers were:

* Sergeant Frederick "Fritz" Niland (1920-1983), Company H, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division!. Fritz was close friends with Warren Muck and Donald Malarkey, both from Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, who were both featured prominently in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers!.
* Technical Sergeant Robert Niland, Company D, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division (KIA June 6, 1944 in Normandy!. He volunteered to stay behind with 2 other men and hold off a German advance while his company retreated!. He was killed while manning his machine gun, the other two men survived)
* Second Lieutenant Preston Niland, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division (KIA June 7, 1944 in Normandy)
* Technical Sergeant Edward Niland, U!.S!. Army Air ForcesWww@Enter-QA@Com

Actually no, not based, inspired!. Not the same thing!.

Rodat first came up with the film's story in 1994 when he saw a monument dedicated to eight brothers who died during the American Civil War!. Inspired by the story, Rodat decided to write a similar story set in World War II!. The script was submitted to producer Mark Gordon, who then handed it to Hanks!. It was finally given to Spielberg, who had previously demonstrated his interest in WWII themes with films such as Schindler's List, and decided to direct Saving Private Ryan after reading the film's script!. The film's premise is very loosely based on the real-life case of the Niland brothers!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
