If you loved The Wave, try The Tank

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Tank has roughly 8.5× fewer votes than The Wave — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Dennis Gansel, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wave, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Tank is

You command a Tiger tank into hostile territory. Your mission: extract a high-ranking officer from a hidden bunker. But the crew's reliance on experimental stimulants pushes them to the edge. Gansel films the claustrophobia of war, leaving one to consider the psychological toll on soldiers.
