Our take

German soldiers in a Tiger tank face enemy lines and meth-fueled paranoia on the Eastern Front, rated US R for violence, bloody images, language, brief nudity and drug use. Reviews highlight claustrophobic combat and Pervitin scenes. Morally dark war material for mature viewers only.

Uplifting themes

Duty and survival conflict without clean heroes

Story (may spoil tone)

A German Tiger tank crew is sent on a dangerous mission to rescue the missing officer Paul von Hardenburg from a top-secret bunker behind enemy lines. As they make their way through the lethal no-man's land, they must confront not only the enemy, but also their own fears and inner demons. Fueled by the Wehrmacht's methamphetamine, their mission increasingly becomes a journey into the heart of darkness.

Talk after watching

  • The film shows Nazi-era soldiers without heroic framing. How does it handle historical morality?
  • Drug use was real military history. Discuss addiction versus cinematic style.
