"Saving Private Ryan" (プライベート・ライアン), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1998, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA862

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed in 1998 for the first Japanese release of Saving Private Ryan (プライベート・ライアン), directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Edward Burns, and Tom Sizemore—one of the most acclaimed and influential WWII films ever made, renowned for its visceral Omaha Beach opening and its mission narrative set in Normandy, 1944.

Design
A powerful, minimalist war-drama composition: a solitary soldier silhouette advances across a burnished horizon, while the faces of Miller’s squad loom above in a storm of smoke and cloud—anchoring the film’s tone of duty, exhaustion, and sacrifice. The Japanese typography is clean and restrained, letting the imagery carry the weight: プライベート・ライアン in bold white, with the cast line beneath and the English subtitle saving private ryan printed at the centre. It’s an elegant, sober one-sheet—very different from louder action marketing of the era, and perfectly matched to the film’s gravity.
