Drugs, dread, and diesel: this isn’t your typical war movie

Amazon MGM has dropped the official trailer for Der Tiger, and it’s not just another World War II film — it’s a pressure-cooker survival story set inside one of history’s most feared machines: the German Tiger tank. Directed by Dennis Gansel (The Wave), Der Tiger is set to roar into German cinemas on September 18, 2025, before rolling onto Prime Video later this year.
