War Of The Worlds
“War of the Worlds” (2005) was the first major motion picture to use real M1 Abrams rather than tanks modified to look like them. The movie follows Rey Ferrier (Tom Cruise), who is trying to fight for his family’s survival against an alien invasion backdrop. You can first spot the tanks midway through the film after the Hudson River scene. The Marines fight the alien tripods, while Ray tries to take daughter to safety.
