Kui liitlasvägede lennuk sakslaste poolt alla tulistatakse, suudavad nad end langevarjudega päästa. Kahjuks napib Pariisis sobivaid maandumisplatse ja nii avastab üks inglane end loomaaiast, teine langeb praktiliselt maalrile sülle ja kolmas maandub ooperimaja katusele. Nüüd peavad nad esmalt üksteist üles otsima ning siis leidma väljapääsu okupeeritud Prantsusmaalt. Seejuures saavad nad abi prantsuse tsiviilisikutelt.
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.
