Description
In a country in the grips of evil, in a police state where every move is being watched, a group of men hidden inside the highest reaches of power decide to take action.

This controversial historical thriller, expertly directed by Bryan Singer (Superman Returns, X-Men) delivers on all levels. Superstar Tom Cruise heads a distinguished international cast that also features Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Terence Stamp and Eddie Izzard. The combined efforts of all these talents reveal the shocking true story of the daring and ingenious plot by a group of World War II German army officers to kill Adolph Hitler in the summer of 1944. Their strategy: use Hitler's own emergency plan—known as Operation Valkyrie—to assassinate the dictator and overthrow the Nazi government from the inside.

Cruise turns in a full-throttle performance as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the real-life mastermind behind the plot. Powerful performances by all and stunning period detail make Valkyrie a must.
