Immediately after an extremely hard-fought battle, the Soviet Army comes across a number of destroyed tanks with one in particular standing out because the driver is found to be still alive after suffering from severe burns encompassing 90% of his body. Surprisingly, after being taken to a field hospital, he manages to recover and is deemed fit for duty not long afterward. He does, however, suffer from memory loss and as a result he is given the name of "Ivan Naydenov" (Aleksey Vertkov). It's also during this time that he tells them of a special German tank he has seen known as the "White Tiger" that completely destroyed all of the tanks in his company. Although the senior leaders in the Soviet military have doubts about the existence of such a tank, to be on the safe side they put Navdenov in charge of a special prototype and order him to destroy the White Tiger. But what the Soviet leadership doesn't realize, however, is that the White Tiger isn't the only unusual aspect of this particular war and destroying it is not going to be that easy. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a rather odd film which had some good action scenes but, unfortunately, suffered somewhat from a weak ending. To that effect, although I was a little disappointed due to my initial high expectations, this was still a good movie for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
