HBO’s 10-Part World War II Epic Went Even Darker Than ‘Band of Brothers’

Saving Private Ryan wasn’t the only incredible World War II-centric project that Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks worked on together. After creating their groundbreaking 1998 war drama, Spielberg and Hanks helped redefine the war epic on television with 2001’s Band of Brothers. More than two decades later, that collaboration has grown into an unofficial trilogy of acclaimed World War II miniseries, with The Pacific arriving in 2010 and Masters of the Air following in 2024.
