Fury (2014), directed by David Ayer, is a gritty and intense World War II film that provides a visceral look at the lives of soldiers in the final months of the war. The story centers on a U.S. Sherman tank crew led by hardened and battle-weary Sergeant Don “Wardaddy” Collier (Brad Pitt). Alongside his loyal crew—Boyd “Bible” Swan (Shia LaBeouf), Trini “Gordo” Garcia (Michael Peña), and Grady “Coon-Ass” Travis (Jon Bernthal)—Wardaddy is tasked with dangerous missions deep into Nazi Germany. The team is joined by a young and inexperienced recruit, Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), who must quickly adapt to the brutal realities of war.
The film explores themes of brotherhood, survival, and the psychological toll of combat. As the crew faces overwhelming odds and moral dilemmas, they bond under the harrowing circumstances of tank warfare, developing a fierce loyalty to one another. The climax builds to a tense and heroic last stand, as the crew defends their position against a much larger enemy force, showcasing both their resilience and the devastating cost of war.
Fury is praised for its realistic portrayal of tank warfare, intense action sequences, and powerful performances, particularly from Brad Pitt and Logan Lerman. The film captures the brutality and chaos of war while delving into the humanity of its characters, offering a raw and emotional depiction of soldiers fighting against overwhelming odds. It stands out as a gripping and unflinching war drama.
