Action Comedy Drama

5.7 / 10

Sergeant Major Zak Carey is serving what is his final tour of duty at an Army base in Clemens, Georgia. Zak doesn't like the way the Army keeps the base and the bar is not what he's accustomed to. So he goes off base to get a beer. When he goes to the bar one of the local prostitutes tries to come on to Zak but Zak turns her down. That's when the deputy who appears to be her pimp beating her up. That's when Zak strikes him. Later he learns that the Sheriff is corrupt and takes what happened to the Deputy as an attack on him and tries to get Zak but the Army backs him and Zak is not intimidated. That's when they arrest his son on trumped up drug charges. Before Zak can fix it, his wife tries to get a lawyer for their son but this only pushes the Sheriff to send their son to a prison farm. With no other recourse Zak gets into his own vintage Sherman Tank and busts his son out and they try to make it to the state line so that they can expose the Sheriff.

I never expected to see Stretch Cunningham in a movie wearing nothing but shoes and socks and baring a firm, well-shaped butt. That was one of the most exciting scenes when Deputy Euclid had to strip in front of everyone. The other men's reactions were really amusing. - @Sunday, August 5, 2018 11:50 AM

Finally a trailer for an old movie where no one's complaining about spoilers in the comments. And this is the most 'abridging' movie trailer I've ever seen, and I just watched Tank last night. Now I've completed my Top 5 Favorite Movies List (1-5): Jurassic Park, Speed, Escape From New York, Daylight, and Tank. - @Wednesday, July 4, 2018 6:10 PM

Please tell me Shout Factory is planning to release this on Blu-Ray. - @Friday, February 2, 2018 6:45 PM

It was a real kick when Deputy Euclid had to strip down to just his shoes and socks and get handcuffed to a pole in front of everyone. I was surprised that Mr. Cromwell had such a nice butt. It was one of the more exciting scenes. - @Sunday, January 7, 2018 3:27 AM

I know this movie is kind of silly (like anyone would be able to buy and keep a Sherman with all the armament still fully functional) but it's still appealing to me, the whole "f-ck you, every man has a breaking point" attitude. Plus I liked it as a teenager back in the day. - @Tuesday, October 3, 2017 10:22 PM

Wish every 80's movie had a blue ray version, I enjoy watching classics - @Friday, August 18, 2017 4:58 PM

I'm wondering does anybody know what they did with the tank after the movie was done. - @Saturday, July 22, 2017 8:49 AM

The best scene in this movie was when Deputy Euclid was forced to strip naked in front of everyone and was handcuffed to a telephone pole. Whoever thought that Stretch Cunningham would wind up naked in a movie someday and look great, besides! - @Friday, June 23, 2017 9:12 AM

Probably the most inaccurate and laughable movie ever made until "God is Not Dead" came along. - @Wednesday, May 10, 2017 6:59 PM

First movie me and my brother saw on a VCR. Used to rent one at Taylor Rental for the weekend before buying our own for $ 549.99 Crazy to think this is how much VCR's once went for. - @Thursday, March 17, 2016 2:59 PM

My favorite line from this movie? "Did you just call me a pussy communist?" - @Friday, November 27, 2015 7:51 PM

"Whyyyyy you..!"

I like this movie. G.D. Spradlin almost steals the show as the sheriff. You may not like him, but you respect him. Spradlin was very convincing and effective at playing authority figures. - @Tuesday, November 24, 2015 8:35 PM

A ten-minute movie made into 2 hours? And it probably inspired the few maniacs who used tanks and bulldozers to "get their own back" at society in the US. Not worth it. - @Tuesday, October 13, 2015 3:25 PM

What is the purpose of this propaganda movie? Should we buy old tanks and preserve them for upcomming wars? I should indict the German TV channel RTL for showing this shit, sunday afternoon in the 90´s I should indict my parents But first I must buy an old T-55 - @Tuesday, July 8, 2014 7:53 AM

Good movie-Zack Carey's son said that he was a cross between General Patton and Danny Thomas.I'l tell you one thing,General Patton,in my opinion would have done the same as St Zack Carey in that situation - @Monday, May 12, 2014 2:46 AM
