Plot Summary - True story, set in WWII Germany. About a group of SS officers who have devised an elaborate plan to assassinate Hitler and seize control of the government to help end the War and atrocities. A leader is put in place to help pull off this plan in the form of a wounded Colonel, missing an eye and a hand, named Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise). He is even assigned the task of performing the killing of Hitler himself!
Review - This is an excellent, exciting film that kept me on the edge of my seat - especially since it all really happened! Cruise does a nice job here, as does the mainly British cast of well known character actors. I especially liked David Bamber (so delightfully smarmy as Cousin Collins in the 1995 BBC series "Pride and Prejudice") who plays Adolf Hitler - wow did it seem like he really was Hitler in the film! Good one all around. Rating - 9.5/10 stars
