Tank (1984)

Genre: Drama / Action
Directed by: Marvin J. Chomsky
Cast: James Garner, Shirley Jones, Jennilee Harrison
Time: 113 minutes


 

US Army Command Sergeant Major Zack Carey moves to a little Georgia town to take what he hopes to be his last post before retiring from the military and spending more time with his wife and teenage son. Carey starts butting heads with local sheriff Cyrus Buelton. When the sheriff goes after Carey’s son on a trumped up marijuana charge, the army man resigns from the military and gets into his own personal WW2 Sherman tank to wage war against the authorities and save his son from the prison camp.

I remember seeing this film as a kid and finding it somewhat entertaining. Looking at it today, with adult eyes, it has not aged so well. Bad acting, a lot of silliness, James Cromwell’s bare ass, there is a lot to dislike here. This film still has a few fun moments of action, but, overall, it is better left in the past.
