Watch the Film: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B0097HFDZO Tom Cruise stars as the leader of a group of German officers who hatched a plot to assassinate Hitler. The operation was code-named ""Valkyrie,"" for the emergency plan that was meant to be used in case of a revolt against the Nazi government. This plan had been modified by the conspirators to ensure their success, but for various reasons the plot failed when finally carried out on 20 July 1944. The conspirators were shot after a kangaroo trial or sentenced to death soon after.
