After first opening in theaters in 2022, this film is headed to VOD in the US this May. For 10 years the country's most wanted serial killer has evaded police.

"A race against time." Another official trailer has just debuted for Tanks for Stalin, a WWII movie from Russia about the infamous T-34 tank. Set in 1940 on "the eve of the war with fascist Germany" - a prototype of a new cutting edge tank is being taken on a secret mission to Moscow, to Comrade Stalin. Soon the cross-country run turns into a ruthless race against time - and the enemy. Starring Andrey Merzlikin, Aglaya Tarasova, Anton Filipenko, Aleksandr Tyutin, Sergey Stukalov.

It looks a bit like Mad Max but with tanks, though I doubt it's really that good. Here's the new official trailer (+ original poster) for Kim Druzhinin's Tanks for Stalin, from YouTube: On the...
