FURYWritten byDavid Ayer

OVER A BLACK SCREEN:April 1945 -- The Allied Armies strike at the heart ofGermany. In four weeks the Third Reich will be no more.EXT. FARMER’S FIELD - PREDAWNThick morning fog blankets all. A faint glow in the East.It’s quiet save for the DISTANT RUMBLE of artillery.Super title: Somewhere in Nazi Germany.A Spanish Arabian STALLION emerges from the fog. A waspwaisted German Army LIEUTENANT erect in its saddle. Hisdisciplined horse elegantly picks its way over the furrowedsoil. A dark hulk looms in the mist -- Horse and riderapproach.IT’S A BURNED OUT TANK -- An American Sherman. Stillsmoldering. Steel armor ripped open like tin foil.The Lieutenant moves on. Encounters another charred tank. Itsentire turret blown off. A small fire still burns inside.Around it are the blackened twisted shapes of burnt shrunkenmen.He moves on. Another hulk emerges from the mist -- This tanklooks like a scrap heap -- Sandbags, railroad ties, sloppysteel plate, cases of wine, rations and ammunition. Battered,scarred and seemingly abandoned.The Lieutenant guides his horse in a slow circle around thearmored vehicle. He HEARS a faint CLINK -- And draws hisLuger from its shiny black holster -- THEN:An AMERICAN SOLDIER hiding BEHIND THE TURRET leaps on him.Tearing the German from his horse. The two men CRASH to theground. The American stabs the Lieutenant in the face -THWICK-THWICK-THWICK! Fast, violent, shocking.The American then carefully slides the knife blade behind theGerman’s eye - Piercing his brainpan with a CRACK. The Germanconvulses for a moment. And dies.The American retrieves his knife. Wipes it clean on theGerman’s uniform and scans the area with burning primal eyes.This is DON “WARDADDY” COLLIER. Late twenties he looks middleaged. A light beard and hollow cheeks. Years of combat haveground him into something hard and sharp.(CONTINUED)

2.CONTINUED:With the mechanical clumsiness of exhaustion, Wardaddy cutsthe map case from the German’s belt. Then rips the largeKnight’s Cross medal from the dead man’s neck.Wardaddy stands to his full impressive height in his oilblackened overalls. He crosses to the horse. He grabs thebeautiful animal’s bridal and looks at it for a moment.Eye to eye. Connection with the animal. With incrediblegentleness he rubs its muzzle. And kisses it.Then he pulls his knife -- The horse jerks back, but Wardaddyholds it firm. He knows horses.THWICK! - He cuts off the bridle, slips the bit from itsmouth. He unbuckles the saddle and drops it to the soil.Wardaddy looking at the horse. Then it heads back the way itcame - Now without ride and tack.Wardaddy climbs aboard his tank -- Her name is “FURY” -- It’spainted on her cannon.INT. FURY - PREDAWNDark. Cramped. Crowded. A filthy machine with filthy men.There’s two main areas - THE TURRET BASKET -- A bigcylindrical cage that spins with the turret.And the BOW -- The front of the tank where the driver and amachine gunner sit. The sound of piss hitting tin.BOYD “BIBLE” SWAN is draped casually across the cannonbreech. A pastor’s kid from Des Moines, he’s serious, calm,centered. You’d never guess he’s killed a thousand men. Hefinishes urinating into an ammo can.TRINI “GORDO” GARCIA sits in the driver’s seat sipping winefrom a bottle. A Mexican butcher from Chicago. He’s beendrunk since 1942. He once went into combat sober - And vowednever to do it again.Next to Gordo, the transmission housing between them, is thebody of RED. A blood soaked jacket pulled over his head. Hisblood spattered inside the tank.GRADY “COON-ASS” TRAVIS, a good-old-boy from Arkansas, iswedged into the battery compartment fixing a short. He’scunning, viscous and World wise.Wardaddy drops down into the Commander’s hatch.(CONTINUED)

3.CONTINUED:COON-ASSGet that fucker?WARDADDYI knocked him off.Gordo offers Red a drink, pushes the bottle into hisshoulder. Whispers to him.BIBLEGordo. Stop. Leave him rest.WARDADDYHe’s dead. Or did you forget? Drunkdamn fool.Gordo shoots them a dirty look. Keeps whispering to his deadfriend. Wardaddy watches Coon-Ass work.WARDADDY (CONT’D)Goddammit. Ain’t you done?COON-ASSKeep ridin’ me.WARDADDYI’m not riding you. If I was, you’dknow it. More where he came from.Wardaddy tosses Bible the Knight’s Cross - Bible hangs it inthe turret - Where more German combat decorations hang likeChristmas ornaments.WARDADDY (CONT’D)You get some canned bacon for this?He tosses Gordo the dead Officer’s Luger. He inspects it.GORDOFor this? Yeah. A case or two.Wardaddy lights a cigarette. Then scratches another notch inhis knife with his GI can opener. It’s tense - They arebehind German lines and acutely aware of the danger they’rein. But danger becomes routine. After years of it.Coon-Ass smirks - KNOWING he’ll get a rise.COON-ASSHow come you didn’t shoot thathorse? You love shooting horses somuch.(CONTINUED)

4.CONTINUED: (2)Wardaddy darkens with outrage -- He works his way over toCoon-Ass and begins kicking the hell out of him.COON-ASS (CONT’D)Stop it! What’s that for?WARDADDYYou know what it’s for.COON-ASSWhy you always whoopin’ on me?WARDADDYBecause you’re an animal. A dog.All you understand is the fist andboot.COON-ASSBull-sheeet. I understand me thepussy and the gun. Killin’ andfuckin’.WARDADDYIn that order?COON-ASSMaybe. Timing’s important. I likeme warm pussy. Pipin’ hot.GORDOYou still talking? Can we get outof here? Everyone shut up.WARDADDYYou shut up. You’re a goddamnbottle of wine. Stink like wine.Think like wine. Alcohol neversolved nothing.GORDONeither did milk. Let’s go.Vamanos. Vamanos ya.WARDADDYWanna talk Mexican? Find anothertank. A Mexican tank. This is anAmerican tank. We talk American.GORDOWho put a nickel in you? You talkKraut. You can talk German and Ican’t talk Spanish?(CONTINUED)

5.CONTINUED: (3)WARDADDYI use my German as a tool of war.Coon-Ass grabs his crotch.COON-ASSHere’s my tool of war.Bible realizes this isn’t about horses or Spanish. It’s aboutRed -- The man with his head blown off in the Bow Gunner’sseat. Bible hands Wardaddy some coffee he warmed on a Colemanstove.WARDADDYThanks Boyd.BIBLEStop ragging on everyone. Youdidn’t kill Red. The German’s did.WARDADDYThat’s true. But I sure didn’t keephim alive.BIBLEHis number came up. That’s all.We’ve been lucky. Until now. Settledown.Wardaddy adds sugar to his coffee. Stirs it with a greasycallused finger. He opens the German’s mapcase -- Discoversseveral maps.WARDADDYThank heavens. We got a map.Wardaddy studies a German map.WARDADDY (CONT’D)We’re here. Battalion Area’s to theSouth. This hardball road here’llget us back. Sound good?COON-ASSYou got the stripes, Daddy. Youfigure it out.WARDADDYI got more, boy. Need more?Wardaddy pokes his head out of the Commander’s hatch andlistens carefully to the coming dawn.(CONTINUED)

6.CONTINUED: (4)His finely tuned instincts kick in. Wardaddy drops backinside - Pulls the hatch shut with a CLANK.THEN:The sound of ROARING LOCOMOTIVES -- An Artillery barrage ison the way.BOOM-BOOM-KABOOM! -- Shells explode around the tank. Rockingit. For the moment the men are safe in their steel cocoon.WARDADDY (CONT’D)Coon-Ass? Anytime, sweetheart.Coon-Ass turns a last bolt then extricates himself from thebatteries.COON-ASS‘Kay. Crank her up, Gordo. Whipthis bitch like your donkey back inOld Mexico.GORDOI’ll whip your Alabama ass with mydonkey cock.Gordo pushes the starter button. Expectant faces. The engineRUMBLES but doesn’t catch.MORE EXPLODING SHELLS -- Incredibly loud. Shrapnel PINGS offthe hull. They endure it with their trademark stoicism.They’ve been through it before - But a direct hit can killthem.WARDADDYChoke’er up. She’s cold.Gordo opens the choke. Tries again. The engine rumbling.Doesn’t start. Worried faces.GORDOThere’s condensation on the plugs.WARDADDYPlugs’re good. Don’t flood it.GORDODrunk or not I can start a damntank.(CONTINUED)

7.CONTINUED: (5)VROOM! -- The engine ROARS to life. They are relieved. Lowkey and businesslike, they don their headsets - It’s nowunbelievably loud in the tank. Coon-Ass joins Wardaddy andBible in the turret basket.Move out!WARDADDYGordo double-clutches and shifts into first. The tanklurches. Bible presses his eye to the gunsight.Wardaddy rotates the turret with his THUMBSWITCH, lookingoutside through a PERISCOPE.BEHIND GORDO -- We see the turret basket rotating, the legsof Wardaddy, Bible and Coon-Ass standing inside - It’s animpressive sight.WARDADDY (CONT’D)Forward! Pick it up! Forward!The tank RATTLES. CLANKS and SHUDDERS. Ammo cases, weapons, Crations vibrate. We are in the belly of the beast.KABOOM-BOOM-BOOM! -- Shells explode dangerously close. Thetank shudders. Gordo clutches, shifts into second. Stomps thegas. The tank builds speed. Wardaddy SEES the road.WARDADDY (CONT’D)Drive! Left. Left. Left.ON GORDO - Turning the tank with the two big steering levers.He whips it onto the road, upshifts into third gear. The tankbuilds speed - Moving surprisingly fast.Gordo can sure drive a tank. Eyes riveted to his periscope.Gas, oil, blood and piss sloshing over his boots. Red’s bodyin the seat next to him.Leaving the CRASHING artillery behind.Out of immediate danger, Wardaddy opens his hatch and takeshis normal position - Exposed from the chest up in thecommander’s hatch. He grips a captured German assault rifle,grimly scanning for threats with his cold hard eyes.The Fury has escaped. Her crew is neither grateful orrelieved. There is work to do. The war is not over.

8.EXT. BATTALION AREA - DAYA farmer’s field has been overrun by a travelling circus ofdeath - An American Armored Battalion. A couple thousand men.A couple hundred vehicles. The TIRED MEN load TIRED VEHICLESfor another day on the attack. Months of spearheading intoGermany have taken their toll.A BOOMING ARTILLERY BATTERY pumps rounds into German targetsmiles away.
