Like Band of Brothers, The Pacific was inspired by real stories of heroism from World War II.
The Big Picture Saving Private Ryan wasn’t the only incredible World War II-centric project that Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks worked on together. After creating their groundbreaking 1998 war drama, Spielberg and Hanks joined forces once more to produce the highly influential HBO drama series Band of Brothers. The 10-part miniseries combined interviews with real members of the Easy Company battalion with some of the most jaw-dropping World War II combat footage ever put to the screen.
While Band of Brothers was inspired by the nonfiction novel of the same name by author Stephen E. Ambrose, The Pacific drew inspiration from multiple sources. Sledge’s memoirs With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa and China Marine, and Leckie’s nonfiction novel Helmet for My Pillow served as the primary inspirations for the series. However, The Pacific also incorporated details from the nonfiction novel Red Blood, Black Sand by Chuck Tatum.
The Pacific questions the futility of the war itself as the conflict descends into more harrowing territory. The series shows the devastating impact that the conflict had on the Pacific Isles, and shows the extreme extents that some characters go to as they lose themselves in battle. In a particularly memorable sequence, Sledge grows desensitized to the violence he finds himself surrounded with and grows increasingly dispirited.
