Does Private Ryan Die

Yes, he probablly died because the tank shot the tower and it was destroyed. Yes he did, as he was returning the child he was shot and died during the scene. The ending of saving private ryan is a poignant and emotional culmination of the films themes. After a brutal battle to secure a bridge, captain miller (played by tom hanks) is mortally. Imagine if instead of saving ryan they were on a mission to deliver strategically important orders to the frontline but then decided to go on a side mission here, a suicide run against an mg42.
