Premise

In the late Autumn of 1944 before the Battle of the Bulge campaign, an American tank unit gets trapped behind enemy lines. The Allies' Operation Ardennes Fury is about to commence when the tank's commander moves to rescue innocent children and nuns from a nearby orphanage.

Although presumably meant to be set in the German Ardennes offensive, which took place in winter, the film was clearly filmed in summer.

Cast

Release

Ardennes Fury was released direct-to-DVD on November 11, 2014.

Critical reception
