Chaque guerre a une légende
En 1941, opération Barbarossa, invasion de l'URSS par l'armée allemande. Après avoir décimé avec un seul T-34 la compagnie blindée du capitaine Klaus Jäger dans des combats aux abords du village de Volokolamsk, le chauffeur Vassilionok et le lieutenant Ivouchkine, rescapés, sont faits prisonniers par Jäger. Au printemps 1944, le commandement de la Wehrmacht confie à Jäger, devenu colonel, la direction du camp d'entraînement d'Ohrdruf (en Thuringe) et d'y ouvrir un centre de préparation pour les troupes blindées d'élite. Les Allemands doivent utiliser comme cibles d'entraînement un T-34 soviétique qu'ils ont récemment capturé. C'est le prisonnier Ivouchkine qui doit le commander avec d'autres prisonniers comme « chair à canon », mais il profite de manœuvres et de la confusion qu'ils sèment pour s'échapper. Ivouchkine et ses hommes tentent de gagner la frontière tchèque qui est à 350 kilomètres, tandis qu'ils sont poursuivis par une demi-douzaine de Panthers commandés par Jäger.

Kinda tank action where every shell has to be fired in slow mo. Huge budget - no value.
The film is obviously a bit biased and I can see why some people see it as propaganda. I don't have any troubles with that actually, i just think the film is a bit too much over the top. Very, very unrealistic plot (the intro was amazing and I was really hoping for a Russian 'Fury' clone) but things got really bad really fast. The slowmos were nice in the beginning but were repeated too much, the romantic plot was kinda poor and at some point I almost had to laugh how poorly the Tiger tank was portrayed in the movie.
I enjoy both WWII movies and tanks, so I figured I'd check this one out - mainly just to see how far they'd push the 'superiority' and 'propagandist' angles in regards to the T-34 tank. Sure enough, they pushed them well enough. The plot is simple, yet a little silly in itself, with quite a few decent enough tank duels that are ruined mainly because of the excessive use of 'bullet cam' after the tank rounds are fired, constant deflections and/or near misses or grazes on the armour (mainly all conveniently in favour of the T-34!). You just find it all hard to believe and question the plausibility when the German Tiger tank was one of the most feared weapons on the battlefield. Want to watch a better tank movie? Watch Fury instead.
Decent tank movie, +1 for Dolby Digital surround (explosions) sound!
I’m a kind of a WW II movie fan. One of the awesome tank battle in the history which they tried to make it real . **Slow** **motion** frames are awesome
