'' is an acclaimed 10-part Television Miniseries set during World War II , co-produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks . The miniseries first aired in 2001 on HBO and still runs frequently on different TV channels around the world.
The miniseries centers on the experiences of Company E (" Easy Company ") of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment , U.S. 101st Airborne Division and one of its lieutenants, Richard Winters , from Easy's initial training, through the American Airborne Landings In Normandy , Operation Market Garden , the Battle Of Bastogne and on to the end of the war. It is based on the book of the same name written by historian and biographer Stephen Ambrose .
The events portrayed in the miniseries are based on Ambrose's research and recorded interviews with Easy Company veterans. Some literary license has been taken with the episodes, and other reference books will highlight the differences between recorded history and the film version.In particular, the books ''Biggest Brother: The Life of Dick Winters'' and ''Parachute Infantry'', an autobiography by David Kenyon Webster . Also, the website '' Trigger Time '' by 101st historian Mark Bando has a detailed discussion of the miniseries' historical accuracy. All of the characters portrayed in the miniseries are based on actual members of Easy Company; some of them can be seen in prerecorded interviews as a prelude to each episode. (Their identities, however, are not revealed until the close of the finale.)
A new 10-part miniseries from the creators of ''Band of Brothers'' ( Steven Spielberg , Tom Hanks , Gary Goetzman), called '' The Pacific '', is in development. The new miniseries will focus on the Pacific Theater . The project is due out in 2009, although this is subject to change. IMDB.com
The series was nominated for nineteen Emmy Award s, and won six, including "Outstanding miniseries," "Outstanding Casting for a miniseries, Movie, or a Special," and "Outstanding Directing for a miniseries, Movie, or a Dramatic Special." It also won a Golden Globe for "Best miniseries, or Motion Picture Made for Television," an American Film Institute award, and was selected for a Peabody Award for "...relying on both history and memory to create a new tribute to those who fought to preserve liberty." It also won a 2003 Writers Guild Award (Television, Adapted Long Form) for episode six (Bastogne). It is also the highest-rated miniseries at IMDB.com.
