The Lark

1964 · 91 min

A grim, defiant war chase that turns a tank into a symbol of hope, ending on a note of haunting sacrifice.

Overview: Russian prisoners of war commandeer a tank and lead the Nazis on a cross-country chase in this World War II adventure drama. The Russians use their own tanks so the Nazis can use them as target practice to test a new anti-tank weapon. Knowing that death is near, the brave Russians run amok and tear down German monuments before heading out to a field where female slave laborers are working.
