Fury (2014) – Brad Pitt
Fury (2014) is a gritty war film directed by David Ayer, set during the closing months of World War II in April 1945. The story follows a battle-hardened tank crew led by Don “Wardaddy” Collier, portrayed by Brad Pitt. They operate a Sherman tank known as “Fury,” with a crew consisting of Boyd “Bible” Swan (Shia LaBeouf), Grady “Coon-Ass” Travis (Jon Bernthal), and Trini “Gordo” Garcia (Michael Peña).
As the Allies push deeper into Nazi Germany, Wardaddy and his crew are tasked with a perilous mission behind enemy lines. Along the way, they are joined by Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), a young and inexperienced recruit who is unprepared for the horrors of war. Through brutal battles and overwhelming odds, Norman is forced to adapt quickly to survive, as the crew fights to complete their mission.
The film is notable for its realistic and intense depiction of tank warfare, the camaraderie among the soldiers, and the ethical dilemmas they face. The action is relentless, but Fury also digs deep into the psychological toll of war, showing the scars left behind even in the midst of brotherhood. Brad Pitt delivers a powerful performance as a hardened yet paternal leader, while the supporting cast adds depth to this emotional and visceral portrayal of war.
