WARNER HOME VIDEO Band Of Brothers + Pacific - Complete Series - DVD

of the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army. Based on interviews with survivors and the diaries and letters of soldiers, Band of Brothers shows the extreme stress and extraordinary fear these men had to endure. On the morning of D-Day, they landed by parachute in France, fought in the Battle of the Bulge and took Hitler's eagle's nest at Berchtesgaden. Much of the unit died and their lives became legend.

From executive producers Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman now comes The Pacific: the true story of three U.S. Marines - Robert Leckie (James Badge Dale), Eugene Sledge (Joe Mazzello) and John Basilone (Jon Seda) - set against the backdrop of World War II in the Pacific. We follow these men and their colleagues from their first battle against the Japanese on Guadalcanal, through the rain forest of Cape Gloucester and the fortresses of Peleliu, the bloody sands of Iwo Jima, the horrors of Okinawa and finally to the long-awaited but uneasy return after Japan's surrender.
