On June 6, 1944, Private First Class Michael Donovan and 13,000 U.S. Paratroopers soar over the English Channel toward their Drop Zone in enemy-occupied France. Their mission is to capture the town of Carentan from the Germans and secure an operations base for Allied forces but the sky explodes with anti-aircraft fire, and Donovan's C-47 Skytrain is hit. In order to survive, the rookie soldier must rely on his instincts and locate his platoon before time runs out.
