This helmet was not only a piece of war movie history, it was signed by both Tom Hanks and director Steven Spielberg themselves. The memorabilia from the Dreamworks film was auctioned off in 2003 at Christie’s, five years after the movie hit theaters with a bang.
The helmet that Hanks wore as Captain John Miller was a WWII-style helmet, the type seen on thousands upon thousands of troops who fought in theaters all across the world. Hanks won a nomination for Best Actor at the Oscars while wearing that helmet, and Spielberg won a Best Director Oscar for his direction of the classic epic.
