Saving private Ryan - Action movie cliches

Saving Private Ryan is film based in World War Two, staring Tom Hanks who is the main character. The movie is about walking through occupied France to find a person called Ryan, through the movie you see them risk their lives to find Ryan, who they are sending home because all 3 of his brothers have sadly been killed in action. This cliche happens many times in action movies/war movies, where they have to risk their lives to save anothers life.

In first two minutes of this film we see a war going on between two sides, the Americans and the Germans. This is a cliche in action films where there are two sides fighting, expecially in war films such as this. In this opening scene we see blood, blown off limbs and lost companions. This is very common in war films such as this and is also a cliche as it shows the horrifing acts that it is based upon.
