The upcoming World War II film Fury puts tank warfare front and center in a depiction of the final Allied push into Germany in 1945.
In the movie, a United States Army sergeant (played by Brad Pitt) commands a medium-sized Sherman tank in battle against a Nazi force with superior firepower, including a well-equipped Tiger I heavy tank. The film, which opens in theaters nationwide on Oct. 17, features the last working Tiger tank in the world.
The Sherman tank (officially called the Medium Tank, M4) was the most widely deployed tank in World War II.
