Summary

- The film explores inner demons and the Eastern Front's horrors.
- It's the first German Amazon original movie with a theatrical release.
A chilling thriller-drama, "Der Tiger" (English title: "The Tank"), plunges viewers into the heart of World War II's Eastern Front in 1943. The narrative centers on a determined five-man German Tiger tank crew undertaking a clandestine mission deep within contested enemy territory.
As the crew ventures eastward, their secret operation intensifies, confronting them not only with external dangers but also their own profound fears and inner demons. The psychological strain, amplified by the use of Wehrmacht methamphetamine, transforms the mission into a harrowing journey into the abyss.
Produced by Pantaleon Films in association with Amazon MGM Studios Germany, "The Tank" recently achieved a unique distinction as the first Amazon original movie from Germany to secure a local theatrical release. Following its cinema run, the film is now available worldwide across Prime Video's 240 territories.
