April 1945 near wars end, tank named "Fury" and its veteran crew battle in German territory.
Germany is near wars end, total war with children, elderly, everyone thrown into battle.
The Fury crew receive a raw rookie replacement with no war experience.
His name is Norman, 8 weeks from stateside, a mild mannered typist. (how he got assigned tank combat escaped me.)
His first assignment is to clean up the bloodied area in the tank where his predecessor was blown to bits.
Pitt, the tank commander Sgt Collier, tries at first to harden him up, the quick no nonsense hands on approach.
Pitt softens towards Norman and shows humanity,war reality takes its toll, Norman eventually becomes a semi-convincing convert to war and its harsh doctrine.
Don't want to give up much of a spoiler, liked the movie....Pitt summed it up early, "Idealism is for peace, History is for war"
Lots of battle gore, not for everyone.
I give it 2.5 stars out of 4
