I need you to perform. "The tanks five-man crew are sent on a deadly mission where they find themselves alone, outgunned and outnumbered, behind enemy lines.

In order to maintain authenticity, a British D-Day veteran was personally invited to the set by Brad.

Peter Comfort, 90, met the Hollywood superstar but admitted he had to use Google beforehand to find out who Brad was. "Mr Pitt was very friendly and charming actually but I didn't know who he was," the WWII veteran said.

The cast and crew of Fury also sent a message of support last Thursday to Prince Harry and the upcoming Invictus Games.

"Having played a tank troop we want to show our support for the Invictus Games and our wounded warriors," said Brad in the short 30-second clip.

"It's going to be really inspirational event and so we hope everyone will join us in getting behind the Invictus Games," added young actor Logan.

The four stars then send a special message just for the British athletes: "Bring it on!"
