About BAND OF BROTHERS & Episode Guide

They depended on each other. And the world depended on them.


Band of Brothers Aired From September 09, 2001 – November 04, 2001  On HBO.




PLOT:
Band of Brothers 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. 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.)
