: Ayer aimed for extreme realism, using real WWII tanks—including the only functioning Tiger I tank in the world—and consulting veterans to capture the "un-glamorous" reality of tank warfare.

: The film focuses on the psychological toll of war , the bond of brotherhood, and the loss of innocence, particularly through the eyes of a rookie soldier, Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman).

: The story follows a battle-hardened U.S. Army Staff Sergeant, Don "Wardaddy" Collier ( played by Brad Pitt ), who commands a Sherman tank nicknamed "Fury". He leads a five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines in Nazi Germany.

: Along with Pitt and Lerman, the crew includes Shia LaBeouf as "Bible," Michael Peña as "Gordo," and Jon Bernthal as "Coon-Ass".
