Tank is a 1984 American action comedy film directed by Marvin J. Chomsky and starring James Garner, Shirley Jones, Jenilee Harrison and C. Thomas Howell. The film was written by Dan Gordon. It was produced by Lorimar Productions and was commercially released in the United States by Universal Pictures on March 16, 1984.

Production

Tank was filmed at Fort Benning and in the small town of Zebulon, Georgia. The final tank scene at the faux Tennessee state line was filmed in southwest Atlanta, at the southeast intersection of Fulton Industrial Blvd (Georgia Highway 70/154) and Campbellton Rd. (Georgia Highway 166).

The titular tank was a 1942 M4 Sherman, made by Ford Motor Company and was owned by collector Dave Ropkey who displayed the tank in the, now closed, Ropkey Armor Museum in Crawfordsville, Indiana. The tank previously made an appearance in The Blues Brothers. This tank is now owned and operated by the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA.

In his memoirs Garner called the film "just a workaday movie with nothing outstanding about it. I had fun making it, though, because I got to drive a Sherman tank and crash into things."
