Reeceknight Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 anyone less seen this yet? I went to the Cinima and was very surprised, Great War film and some of the battle scenes were epic, don't knownif it's based On a true story or not . taking my old man back to see it tomorow as I think it's somthing that needs to be seen on the big screen. (In a nutshell it's pretty much the story of loan survivor exeot there in a tank, which most would have gathered from the advert) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 From The Wikipedia site; Plot summaryFury is set during the last month of the European Theater of war during World War II in April 1945. As the Allies make their final push into Nazi Germany, a battle-hardened U.S. Army Staff Sergeant in the 66th Armored Regiment, 2nd Armored Division named Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt) commands an M4A3E8 Sherman tank named Fury and its five-man, all-veteran crew: Boyd "Bible" Swan (Shia LaBeouf), gunner, Grady "Coon-***" Travis (Jon Bernthal), loader and Trini "Gordo" Garcia (Michael Peña), driver. The tank's original assistant driver/bow gunner has been killed in battle and his replacement turns out to be a recently-enlisted Army typist, Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) who, it transpires, has never even seen the inside of a tank before, let alone experienced the ravages of war. Norman later earns the nickname "Machine", given to him by Grady Travis. The surviving crew, which has been together since the North African Campaign, upon meeting the raw recruit despise him both for his lack of experience and for his reluctance to kill Germans, and especially teenagers of the Hitlerjugend, in cold blood; a decision which results in the destruction of one of the Allied tanks and its crew. Wardaddy is furious and in an effort to brutalise the young man and 'educate' him to the realities of war, he violently attempts to force Norman to take his weapon and shoot dead a captive German artilleryman. When Norman refuses to do so, Wardaddy forces the gun on him and makes him execute the prisoner. It is around this point in the film, that it becomes evident that Wardaddy has begun to feel a responsibility for the young man. This bond between Norman and Wardaddy becomes stronger after capturing a small German town, where Wardaddy and Norman meet a German woman and her cousin, named Emma. Norman (presumably) sleeps with Emma, then joins Wardaddy and Emma's cousin for breakfast. However, the rest of the crew barge in and cause tensions while at the table. Shortly afterwards, a German bombardment hits the town, killing Emma and some of the American forces. The platoon of tanks, led by Wardaddy, gets a mission to hold a vital crossing (protecting a clear way to supply trains), but after encountering a German Tiger I, only Fury remains, the other vehicles being knocked out. The vehicle is immobilized after hitting a landmine; shortly afterwards, a German column of three hundred Waffen-SS infantry approaches. Wardaddy refuses to leave, and the rest of the crew, initially reluctant, decides to stay and plan an ambush. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men nevertheless inflict heavy losses on the Germans using both the tank's and the crews' weapons, but eventually Grady, Bible and Gordo are all killed and Wardaddy is wounded by a sniper. Norman and Wardaddy retreat back into Fury where they share their last words. Wardaddy tells Norman to escape through the bottom hatch of the tank and he hides in the crater made by the landmine explosion, while Wardaddy stays behind and is killed by a grenade blast. A young German Waffen-SS trooper finds Norman, but does not turn him in, leaving the assistant driver hidden safely beneath the destroyed tank as the surviving German soldiers move on. The next morning, U.S. Army units discover Norman, and it is implied that the German offensive failed because of the crew's actions. Norman is taken off to safety while he looks back at the carnage of dead German SS troops and the destroyed Fury. Might have to go and see this one!

Puggers Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Incredible film and the battle scenes are amongst the best I've seen in years - loved the early scene with the tanks advancing and simultaneously firing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeceknight Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I mean, it's a cracking film but like all American war films it's all very "yeehaaaa hero" but if you can see past that and that it is a Hollywood flick then it's good. like most films if u made them how it really happens it would be boring lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boromir Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Saw the film at cinema as recommended enjoyed it very well done. Only downside is I came out the cinema and found some scumbag has keyed my car. If you like tank games there is a game on the xbox360 or pc called World of tanks its free and very well made.
