Valkyrie

An intense, powerful, gut-wrenching, enlightening, factually based, star-studded (Kenneth Branagh, Tom Wilkinson, Thomas Kretschmann, Tom Hollander, et al.), 121-minute, 2008 film in which Nazi Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) joined other high-ranking German military officers (Bill Nighy, Terence Stamp, Eddie Izzard, David Schofield, Kevin McNally, et al.) to devise a risky, dangerous, multifaceted scheme to assassinate Adolf Hitler (David Bamber) and his equally mad right-hand man Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler (Matthias Freihof) and to assume control of Berlin on July 20, 1944.
