Fury (2014 film)
Fury is a 2014 AmericanBritish war film written and directed by David Ayer. The film stars Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pea, and Jon Bernthal. The film portrays US tank crews in Nazi Germany during the final days of World War II. Ayer was influenced by the service of veterans in his family and by reading books, such as Belton Y. Coopers Death Traps, about American armored warfare in World War II. Ayer aimed for a greater degree of realism in the film than in other World War II dramas.

Normans decision not to kill the teenagers is proven wrong when the soldiers destroy the lead tank with Panzerfausts, resulting in the death of their platoon leader, Lieutenant Parker, and his crew. After killing all three of the soldiers himself, Wardaddy viciously confronts and reprimands an intimidated Norman for failing to shoot them. Later, during a battle with German anti tank guns, Norman, under harassment and pressure as Gordo tells him to do his job, lacks time to load his weapon, and misses the Germans when he does fire the weapon, further enraging Wardaddy.
