Robert Rodat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Rodat (born New Hampshire, 1953) is an American screenwriter. After noticing his son's birthday (June 6) shared the same date as the Battle of Normandy, he was inspired to write his Oscar-nominated script for Saving Private Ryan (1998). He also wrote less acclaimed scripts, for films like Fly Away Home (1996) and The Patriot (2000). He is currently working on a revision of the script for the upcoming 2007 film 10,000 BC.
