20 Best Movie Taglines Of All Time
12. Saving Private Ryan
The tagline: ‘The mission is a man.’
Saving Private Ryan is chiefly remembered for the astonishing opening sequence that brought the full horror of the Omaha Beach landings in World War II to agonising life. Steven Spielberg has furnished the medium of film with some its most memorable and iconic moments, but even by his own standards this recreation of the D-Day landings is a high-water mark.
The man who is the mission was, of course, played by Matt Damon, who Spielberg cast due to his all-American look and the fact that he was unknown when filming began. By the time Saving Private Ryan was released in 1998, Good Will Hunting had made Damon a star.
