In Germany, May 1945, at the twilight of WWII, Sgt Jesse Owens, an African American faces discrimination typical of the times, as the predominately white members of his U.S. tank crew struggle to take orders from him despite his rank and expertise. As the crew discovers a platoon of Germans, including three infamous Panzer tanks, Owens and his men find a way to work together to save hundreds of lives in a desperate battle against the greatest odds they have ever faced.
