As World War II raged on, with Germany ruled by an evil tyrant and watched over by a police state, one man had the courage to stand up for what is right, even though he knew it could cost him his life. ‘Valkyrie‘ stars Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a proud and loyal military officer who cannot abide to committing any more atrocities. As time runs out, Stauffenberg, along with a group of high-ranking military officials, take action and join the German resistance. The group devise a daring plot to use Hitler’s emergency plan, known as Operation Valkyrie, to assassinate the leader of the Third Reich and overthrow the government from inside. Co-starring Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Carice van Houten, Thomas Kretschmann, Eddie Izzard, Christian Berkel and Terence Stamp, ‘Valkyrie‘ is a historical thriller that shows the bravery of men who dared to stop a man from destroying the world.
