An Epic Tale of War

Band of Brothers is an award-winning 10-part HBO series. It follows Easy Company, the 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, through its mission in World War II’s European theater from D-Day to V-J Day. Based on interviews with survivors, along with soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers shares the experiences of these legendary men as they displayed extraordinary bravery and faced unimaginable fear.

Trivia

Most of the actors were chosen based on their resemblance to the soldiers they would be portraying.

To ensure authenticity, all the scripts were reviewed by real-life Easy Company soldiers.

The actors were put through an intense 10-day 'boot camp' to prepare for their roles and were required to stay in character the entire time.

The miniseries included 500 different speaking roles.

Historic Battles Brought to Life

Presented by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg
Nearly 12 action-packed hours of absorbing military drama
The complete series, plus tons of bonus material
A beautiful six-DVD gift-box collection


Major Richard 'Dick' Winters (Damian Lewis) The leader of Easy Company, Winters was a calm and collected leader who was greatly respected by his men. He eventually was put in command of the entire 2nd Battalion.	Captain Lewis Nixon (Ron Livingston) Nixon was a hard-drinking soldier who liked a good time. But when the company needed him, he was always there. He never fired a shot during the war.	2nd Lieutenant C. Carwood Lipton (Donnie Wahlberg) Lipton was a commissioned officer in Easy Company. His strength was in keeping morale high and pushing the men to reach their full potential.	Captain Herbert M. Sobel (David Schwimmer) Strict, uncompromising and sometimes even vindictive, Captain Sobel was disliked by the entire company, but their mutual dislike is what united them in basic training.

Product Description

Based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose, the epic 10-part miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences and fascinating tale of comradeship that is, in the end, a tale of ordinary men who did extraordinary things. Packed in a 6-disc gift box collection, The Band of Brothers DVD box set features interviews with the veterans, cast and crew and the making of the HBO series.

Additional Features

HBO's impressive miniseries may have the most handsome DVD packaging to date: a tin container enclosing the accordion sleeves holding six discs. The extras on the set are just as classy. Besides the rudimentary 30-minute making-of, there's an hour's worth of video diaries by actor Ron Livingston (who portrays Lewis Nixon) detailing the tough "actors' boot camp." The first-person recollections of the real Easy Company soldiers that begin each episode are expanded in the 80-minute documentary We Stand Alone Together. The real footage and heartfelt recollections complement the series, but viewers may want more interaction between the lifelong friends. The documentary is better in the final minutes, when the veterans are not talking about the specific incidents depicted in the film. Another big help in this set is the "field guide," a dossier of maps, glossary, definitions of ranks, a timeline, and a who's who for each episode. --Doug Thomas

Director Mark Cowen's Description of the Interviews as Given to Filmmaking Class

ByRCon December 15, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I own the “Band of Brothers” series on Blu-ray and it is truly outstanding! Here is some insight into the interviews given to me by the man who conducted the interviews with the men of Easy Company, Mark Cowen…

In 2012, I took a filmmaking class with Mark Cowen, who directed the Emmy nominated, “We Stand Alone Together: The Men of Easy Company”.

During the class, he described to us what it was like interviewing the veterans of Easy Company. In order to get access to these men, he had to go through the “Biggest Brother”, Major Richard “Dick” Winters. Mark said that, even after so many years, Major Winters still commanded the respect of his troops and that they would do what he asked. Major Winters got on the phone and made some calls that went something like this, “This is Winters. I’m sending a man over to interview you. I want you to tell him everything he wants to know” or words to that effect. Mark said that this is the only way he could have gotten access to them and for them to tell their stories for these interviews.

Mark faced a difficult problem before any of the interviews started. How could he make them “open up” to his questions and speak freely about these often painful experiences and memories? He couldn’t just go in and say, “Can you tell me what you did during the war”. Knowing that these men wouldn’t want to talk about themselves he came up with an idea which worked very well. He started each interview by asking, “Who was your best friend during the war? What was he like?” That is how he got these brave men to speak freely and express themselves as openly as they did on camera.

Many of the men Mark interviewed had never told anyone about their combat experiences during the war, not even their families. While relating some of their stories, the brave veterans would sometimes break down and cry. Mark told us he often found himself crying along with them. During one of the interviews, an old veteran slowly came out and sat down. He started speaking about the war and his time with Easy Company. As the camera rolled and the interview progressed, Mark could hear this veteran’s family come up from behind to watch and listen to their loved one relate stories of bravery, of death, of friendship and of pain, which they had never heard. When he finished the interview, Mark turned to find not only the veteran’s family but also a lot of their neighbors standing there. Some were weeping quietly while others struggled to restrain from sobbing. Scenes like this became common during the interviews he did with these brave, old warriors.

I often think of what Mark Cowen told us that day about his interview for, “We Stand Alone Together: The Men of Easy Company”. I wanted to get together with him again to hear more about these interviews but sadly, he passed away shortly thereafter, on September 10, 2012.

Top Marks

ByR. Sanchezon September 2, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I had not watched Band of Brothers on HBO when it was first on. Maybe it wasn't my time to take in this series. A few days ago I painfully watched the last episode of the series. I say "painfully" because I did not want the series to end. After I connected names with faces, I felt like I knew the guys and was nervous with every mission, ambush, and offensive. The last episode, although during the end of the war in Europe, is as emotional for the viewer as a combat episode because you the viewer are letting go of Easy and all the men who fought so valiantly and selflessly. My mom is from Joliet, IL, and Frank Perconte lived in Joliet on my aunt's street. He passed recently. I never met him but I enjoyed him in the series and was very proud of him and his service, as I was of all the real-life soldiers in Band of Borthers . All in all, this is a fantastically well done series, authentic, well written, and balanced. I cannot recommend it enough. As for me, I will watch it again.

"Band of Brothers" (HBO Miniseries) Truly outstanding in every respect.

ByMike PowersTOP 500 REVIEWERon December 14, 2012

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

In September 2001, only a few days before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, there began on the Home Box Office (HBO) cable network one of the most extraordinary television mini-series I have ever seen. Entitled "Band of Brothers," that mini-series told in dramatic fashion and with exquisite eloquence the true story of one of the most famous and highly decorated U.S. Army units to fight during World War II: Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. In 2002, "Band of Brothers" was released DVD; in 2008 a six-disc Blu-ray edition was published, and now it is available on Amazon Instant Video in high definition digital format.

For those not familiar with "Band of Brothers," it's based upon the equally outstanding book entitled "Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest," by the late Stephen E. Ambrose. It describes in stunning detail the exploits of Easy Company, from its initial airborne landing in Normandy on D-Day; through its participation in Operation Market-Garden in September 1944 and its tenacious defense of Bastogne in December 1944; to its capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden in April 1945.

The original HBO mini-series is divided into ten episodes, each about one hour long. The entire project - which cost an estimated $125 million to produce - has as its executive producers Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Stephen Ambrose.

With such cinematic luminaries leading the production team, one would expect "Band of Brothers" to be outstanding in every respect, and it does not disappoint. Taken as a whole, the ten episodes provide a highly accurate and faithful chronology of the events narrated by Ambrose in his book, while at the same time providing viewers with superb acting, writing, cinematography, music, costumes, and sound. Taken separately, each episode stands as a powerful and gritty testament to the patriotism, heroism, and character of the men of Easy Company.

It's impossible to describe with full justice how good "Band of Brothers" is. It is, for me, the nearly perfect war chronicle: an accurate depiction of real events; arrayed with a stellar cast, including many unknown actors who have made a name for themselves as a result of their work in this film (among them, most notably: Damian Lewis; Donnie Wahlberg, Ron Livingston; Dale Dye (who also served as the series' military advisor); Frank John Hughes; and Rick Gomez.

I now own the complete "Band of Brothers" miniseries in three formats: DVD (purchased 2003); Blu-Ray (2011); and now in digital format through my Amazon Prime membership. I think the digital format provides the clearest, sharpest, and most vibrant audio and video of the three formats I own. I have already watched several episodes on my Kindle Fire HD, and I can say without hesitation that the experience was superb in every way. It certainly made the purchase of this series well worth the price. (Of course, if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can view "Band of Brothers" for free.)

MY VERDICT: No matter what format you own, "Band of Brothers" is truly outstanding. Along with its sister miniseries "The Pacific" (2010), it is simply the best war story I've ever seen in any cinematic medium. Both "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" deserve honored places in any home video collection.

Incredible Series

ByAnthony Flowerson July 27, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This series by HBO is almost more of a docementary than a T.V. series for entertainment. The story-line seems very real and grabs your attention for the length of the series. Each episode focuses on an integral part of Easy Company's journey through WWII. At times the series focuses on boot camp, the officers, how the medics function in the heat of battle (or cold), and the relationships between soliders. This series has a similar style to Saving Private Ryan, which I also enjoyed, but the detail seems more in depth. This is a must-watch WWII series.
