Plot Summary: In a country in the grips of evil, in a police state where every move is being watched, in a world where justice and honor have been subverted, a group of men hidden inside the highest reaches of power decide to take action. Tom Cruise stars in the suspense film, "Valkyrie," based on the true story of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Cruise) and the daring and ingenious plot to eliminate one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever known. Director Bryan Singer ("The Usual Suspects," "X-Men," "Superman Returns") re-teams with Academy Award®-winning "Usual Suspects" screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie to bring to life the story of the men who led the operation to assassinate Hitler. The film also stars an acclaimed cast including Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Carice van Houten, Thomas Kretschmann, Eddie Izzard, Christian Berkel and Terence Stamp.

A proud military man, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg is a loyal officer who serves his country all the while hoping that someone will find a way to stop Hitler before Europe and Germany are destroyed. Realizing that time is running out, he decides that he must take action himself and joins the German resistance. Armed with a cunning strategy to use Hitler’s own emergency plan – known as Operation Valkyrie – these men plot to assassinate the dictator and overthrow his Nazi government from the inside.

With everything in place, with the future of the world, the fate of millions and the lives of his wife and children hanging in the balance, von Stauffenberg is thrust from being one of many who oppose Hitler to the one who must kill Hitler himself.

Release this in December! It will have a much better chance at winning some awards if they just delay the release two months.

I'm very much looking forward to this film. I think it has potential to be the best film in quite a while.

Does anyone know why this wasn't planned/isn't going to be released on June 30 (the actual day they tried to assassinate Hitler)? BTW, if you want to watch a revealing movie about the Nazis, watch "Conspiracy."

"Does anyone know why this wasn't planned/isn't going to be released on June 30 (the actual day they tried to assassinate Hitler)?"

TDK comes out around that time and that will own everything else for a while plus they still have to shoot this one deseer attack scene.

Can't freaking wait! I have read the screenplay and it's incredible!

The reason why its nit being released in the end of 6/08 is because they still had to film a big scene in the movie.. I am a huge Tom Cruise fan, and really want this film to do extremely well. But I am concerned why he does not speak in Brittish accent.
