Fury
In April 1945, as the Allies make their final push in the European Theater, a battle-hardened Army sergeant named Wardaddy commands a five-man Sherman tank crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered, out-gunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to defend a field hospital from Waffen SS troops.

Fury (2014), directed by David Ayer, is a gritty and visceral World War II drama that follows a battle-hardened tank crew led by Brad Pitt’s character, “Wardaddy,” during the final days of the European campaign. The film is praised for its intense combat realism, strong ensemble cast—including Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, and Michael Peña—and its unflinching portrayal of the psychological toll of war. Critics noted its atmospheric cinematography and brutal action sequences, though some felt the story leaned too heavily on war movie tropes and lacked deeper character development. With a Metascore of 64, Fury stands as a solid, if not groundbreaking, entry in the Fictional Military genre. Rating: 3.5/5 for me!
