Valkyrie is a true story about Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg who was a General in the German Army before and during the Second World War.
What is remarkable about this story is the enormous risk Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg played by American actor Tom Cruise, he took to get support to kill the German Nazis leader, Adolf Hitler.
RELATED FILM REVIEW: Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
If you can imagine thinking of 'how' you would kill the most notorious leader of the last century.
If you contacted the wrong person in the German government of the time you would be executed, and not only that but your family and friends wouldn't be spared.
So, the importance in telling this story as Tom Cruise has stated himself, a "big challenge" and an "enormous project" because of the responsibility in telling a truthful story that actually happened and is still being taught today around the world because of the devastation caused by the Second World War, which affected every man, woman and child in some way or another.
RELATED FILM REVIEW: The Reader
This film took two years to make not to mention the pre-production work involved, which took a further two years, so it's well recommended you see this war thriller, it will place you at the edge of your seat.
It's got a star-studded line-up of the greatest actors from Tom Cruise to Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzard and many, many others!
