Fury is a 2014 American-British
war film written and directed by
David Ayer. The film stars
Brad Pitt,
Shia LaBeouf,
Logan Lerman,
Michael Peña, 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. Cooper's
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.
