Plot: Germany, May 1945, the twilight of WWII. A U.S. tank crew discovers a platoon of Germans, including three infamous Panzer tanks, preparing to ambush allied supply trucks. Among the predominantly white U.S. tank crew is Sgt Jesse Owens, an African American. Though Owen’s has more experience in the tank destroyers, several in Owens’ crew are reluctant to put their faith in a black tank driver when circumstances become dire. With tension and fear beginning to manifest, Owens knows they must put aside their differences to stop the enemy from their deadly plan. Knowing that a victory over the Nazis means a victory for racial justice, Owens and his men find a way to work together to save hundreds of lives in a desperate battle against the greatest odds they have ever faced.
