One of the best war movies of the 21st century is on TV tonight

In fact, it recently made a list of the 15 best war films of all time.

The film is set in April 1945, when the Allies are making their final push in the European theatre. Its story centres on a battle-hardened Army sergeant named Don 'Wardaddy' Collier (Pitt), as he leads a Sherman tank and a five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines.

"Hopelessly outnumbered, outgunned and saddled with an inexperienced soldier (Logan Lerman, The Perks of Being a Wallflower) in their midst, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds as they move to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany," the plot synopsis adds.

Written and directed by David Ayer (The Beekeeper), the rest of Wardaddy's crew is played by Jon Bernthal (The Punisher), Michael Peña (End of Watch) and Shia LaBeouf (Megalopolis).

The movie was praised upon release for its intense performances and its visceral action set pieces, which both really capture the horrors of warfare.

In the decade since it came out, Fury's reputation has only improved. A poll on the website Ranker places the movie 15th in a list of the best war films of all time.

Fury is airing on TV tonight on Film4 at 9pm. It is also available to stream on Prime Video.
