Stars come out for the world premiere of "Fury" in Washington DC. Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf and the rest of the cast walk the red carpet and pose with World War II veterans.

Pitt plays a hardened Army sergeant, who commands a five-man tank crew on a deadly mission into Nazi Germany after the allied invasion. Speaking at the event, he explains the importance of telling this brutal account of the war.

"Well I think that we're still living in very violent, chaotic times, times that we don't understand to the fullest. My time with vets and men who were there at that time, they will tell you that the realities of the Geneva Convention couldn't come to play at the end there when they were deep into Germany. It was murkier. It was just murkier and certainly what was witnessed was every bit as awful as what's witnessed by our young men and women today," Brad Pitt said.

Shia LaBeouf looked past the violence and felt camaraderie with his cast mates.

"There's a lot of love in that tank, overwhelming love. I never had brothers, so it's wild to make that happen out of nowhere. Strangers turn into brothers in seven months. It's a trip," Brad Pitt said.

David Ayer wrote and directed the film. He admits he took a "white knuckle" approach when making the film.

"It was a brutal set, let's just say that. I mean these guys did a lot of work together. They trained together. They fought to together. They slept together. They ate together.(下) They really bonded as brothers, so that chemistry on the screen is absolutely real. You bring the skill of the actor to that brotherhood and camaraderie they felt as real people. Nothing can beat that," David Ayer said.

"Fury" thunders into U.S theaters on Friday and will hit big screens around the world later this year.
