Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) got wounded on the Front, lost his left eye and right hand, to be exact. Then he is sent back to Berlin. And he meets a group of officers who belive assassinating Adolf Hitler saves Germany. Then he arranges Operation: Valkyrie, which will honor hsi group to control Berlin and the reserves army after the assassination of Hitler. Though it is planned thoroughly, they are not fortunate enough. Hitler just gets wounded and he gives an order to capture them. After being arrested, General Fromm, being one of the conspirators, orders immediate arrest of the other people and charges them at once to save himself. Though, he could not save himself. He was executed as well.
I already knew the plot. However, it is still exciting to watch such a movie. There are many quotes that I'd love to share.
Stauffenberg(to Haeften, looking at Hitler's portrait): The portrait will be unhung, and that man will be hung.
Olbricht: Killing us won't hide your involvement.
Fromm: My involvement? I don't know what you're talking about.
Fromm: Spare me, Lieutenant.
Stauffenberg: No-one will be spared.
Stauffenberg(to Olbricht, just before executed by firing squad): Look them in the eye. They'll remember you.
Stauffenberg(screams): Long live sacred Germany.
