Movie Reviewz- Valkyrie

Valkyrie is a true story that depicts the assasination plot targeting Adolf Hitler in the middle 20th century. The main character in this enthrilling film is Colonel Claus von Stauffenburg, the guy who planned the plot. He is played by the all-famous Tom Cruise. It involves a secret plan to assasinate the most evil tyrants on Earth, the German war dictator Adolf Hitler. The plot starts when Stauffenburg is evacuated back to Nazi Germany after he was wounded in Tunisia.

Meanwhile, the first minor assasination plot was carried out. Major General Henning von Treschow attempted an assasination by setting up a bomb onboard the Fuhrer's personal airplane. It did not succeed, as it failed to detonate but Treschow managed to retrieve it. Later, Stauffenburg is recruited into the German Resistance after Major General Hans Oster is arrested. The German Resistance is a group targeted to kill Adolf Hitler for a good cause (duh).

The idea of Operation Valkyrie (In German, Walkure) was developed and von Stauffenburg brings it to the German Resistance. the overall plot is to maintain order while deploying the Reserve army. Then they can destroy the Nazi regime after assassinating Hitler. However, realising that only General Fromm can only initiate Operation Valkyrie, they seek help from him. Fromm refuses to agree to the terms but after a few rounds of negotiations, they succeed but Fromm still refuses to be directly involved with Valkyrie. As such, the rewritten order needs Hitler's signature (which is literally impossible). Luckily, with help from von Stauffenburg's inner circle, Hitler praises von Stuffenburg's heroism in North Africa and signs the orders without looking carefully at the modifications.
 
At the final briefing, Colonel Mertz von Quirnheim instructs the commitee members to use pencil detonators (bombs). Von Stauffenburg also persuades General Fellegiebel to cut off all communications after the bomb detonation. Then, on July 15, 1944, von Stauffenburg attends a strategy meeting at Wolf's Lair. But without Himmler's reply, von Stauffenburg does not get the order to go-ahead until the meeting is over. With the plan not going to order, von Stauffenburg safely extracts himself and the undetonated bomb from the bunker. Although this plan did not take action, they had another crucial chance. On July 20th 1944, another conference was held. Von Stauffenburg and Lieutenant Haeften attended the conference with their pencil detonators.

What will happen next? Will the bomb detonate powerful enough to kill Hitler? Will operation Valkyrie be carried out successfully? Watch the movie yourself to find out!
