Movies that feel likeFury (2014)

April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theater, a battle-hardened army sergeant commands a Sherman tank with a five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines.

If you loved Fury, the closest films we have are Dunkirk (2017), Lone Survivor (2013) and Greyhound (2020). All three share Fury's bleak and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019).
