File:ValkyriePoster.jpg Valkyrie (2008) Valkyrie is the modern telling of the plot to kill Hitler. The main character is decorated war hero and senior German army officer Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise ). The plot to place a bomb underneath the table where Hitler is meeting his generals is a well known historical story. What is not often known is that this was one of 20 known attempts on Hitler's life by his own military. Apparently more than a few Germans saw the evil that was their leader.
