DVD Synopsis

Inspired suave aristocrat Col. Claus von Stauffenberg's ingenious plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler during the waning days of World War II, director Lawrence Schiller's historical war drama traces the remarkable events that unfolded as the Third Reich's Operation Valkyrie emergency plan was implemented on July 20, 1944. Could World War II have been stopped before the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? A group of senior army officials have decided to turn on their f�hrer, but is their plan doomed from the very moment of conception? A strategy meeting is set to take place at Hitler's Wolfsschanze (Wolf's Lair). There, the tyrannical German leader will be completely vulnerable to attack by the very people he trusts most - his own officers. In order to succeed, von Stauffenberg and his men will need to make some serious sacrifices. Later, as the plot gets underway, fighting continues raging all across Europe, and the men wait patiently for the perfect moment to strike. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I watched this after seeing Valkyrie. In some ways this one is better. Valkyrie was awesome but this movie seemed to go into more detail and more "plotting" dialog. One thing, this actor never took his patch off, Cruise did. I guess he didnt want to hide his face too much. But anyway.. this movie is just as suspensful and exciting as the Hollywood version. Its worth a watch especially if you liked Valkyrie. Both movies are alike as they should be being based on true events.
