Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as their journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men from paratrooper training in Georgia through the end of the war. As an elite rifle company parachuting into Normandy early on D-Day morning, participants in the Battle of the Bulge, and witness to the horrors of war, the men of Easy knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear - and became the stuff of legend. Based on Stephen E. Ambrose's acclaimed book of the same name.

本片是美国HBO电视台拍摄的半传记式电影，根据美国烟草大王的女儿桃瑞丝·杜克（Doris Duke）与她的管家伯纳德·拉弗迪之间的不寻常情谊改编而成。1987年，继承了全部财产，据说是世上最富有女性的桃瑞丝·杜克（苏珊·萨兰登 Susan Sarandon 饰）雇佣了伯纳德·拉弗迪（拉尔夫·费因斯 Ralph Fiennes 饰）成为了管家。同性恋的伯纳德曾因酗酒问题在戒酒疗养院治疗六个月，但桃瑞丝对伯纳德的个人问题并不关心。伯纳德一点点改进了桃瑞丝宅邸的管理工作，桃瑞丝也默许，甚至鼓励伯纳德不同寻常的性取向，二人产生了超乎寻常的友谊。在桃瑞丝的晚年，伯纳德过分的保护却令桃瑞丝的律师兼经济顾问沃尔多·塔夫特（詹姆斯·瑞布霍恩 James Rebhorn 饰）严重怀疑其行为动机…… 本片获最佳导演、最佳男女主角、最佳摄影等十项艾美奖提名，并获最佳男主角、最佳女主角和最佳电视电影/系列片三项金球奖提名。
