Which film features a tank chase on a highway?

The story behind the answer

The film featuring a tank chase on a highway is Fast & Furious 6. Released in 2013 and directed by Justin Lin, the movie follows Dominic Toretto and his crew as they help DSS agent Luke Hobbs stop mercenary leader Owen Shaw.

The chase occurs when Shaw’s team attacks a Spanish military convoy carrying technology needed for the Nightshade weapon. Shaw commandeers a tank and drives it along a highway, crushing cars and creating chaos while Dom’s crew pursues him. Brian O’Conner and Roman Pearce eventually help flip the tank, while Letty is thrown from it and saved by Dom.

The sequence is often remembered as one of the franchise’s major shifts from street racing toward enormous action spectacle. It was filmed in Tenerife on a three-mile stretch of highway. Production reportedly used practical effects extensively, including a tank that ran over approximately 250 cars. The scene belongs specifically to Fast & Furious 6, not F9, Furious 7, or The Fate of the Furious.
