The mini-series centers on the experiences of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, U.S. 101st Airborne Division and one of its early platoon leaders, Richard Winters, from their initial training, through the Normandy invasion, 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 mini-series 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. All of the characters portrayed in the mini-series 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.)
DreamWorks has confirmed that 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.
Awards
The series was nominated for nineteen Emmy Awards, and won six, including \"Outstanding Mini-Series,\" \"Outstanding Casting for a Mini-Series, Movie, or a Special,\" and \"Outstanding Directing for a Mini-Series, Movie, or a Dramatic Special.\" It also won a Golden Globe for \"Best Mini-Series, 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 in IMDB.com.
