Band of Brothers

Based on Stephen E. Ambrose's book, this 10-part miniseries tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Starting with their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942, it recounts the achievements of the elite rifle company, which parachuted into France early on D-Day morning. Part 1: "Currahee". In Toccoa, Ga., 1942, a disparate group of young men begins voluntary training to become members of one of America's newest military regiments -the paratroopers. Under the harsh leadership of Lt. Sobel, members of the newly form Easy Co. go from green civilians to some of the Army's most elite soldiers. Part 2: "Days of days". On June 6, 1944, D-Day, planes with thousands of paratroopers cross the English Channel to France, where they come under heavy fire. None of the men land where they expected to, and many lose their weapons and supplies in the drop. Part 3: "Carentan". Two days after D-Day, Easy Co. is sent to take the town of Carentan, engaging in a successful battle that result in several casualties. Some soldiers have a difficult time adjusting to combat.
