Rating: - The Plot To Kill Hitler
I just so the Tom Cruise movie on this Christmas day of 2008. I in all honesty this made for TV movie was a bit better done. Brad Davis seemed to bring more depth to Von Staufenberg than did Cruise. So I would give this 3 stars and Valkyrie 2 and a half.
Rating: - Lame and no sense of drama
David Wolper's full length TV feature revisted the subject of his Emmy winning Appointment with Destiny episode on the July plot but the result was far inferior to the original. Lots of historical inaccuracies and no drama. The viewer is not engaged with the characters. Definately movie of the week stuff.
Rating: - why not available on dvd?
This is one great movie.What i would like to know is why is it still not available on dvd? Can the film distributors please take note and do the needful soonest?
Rating: - Tragic Heroism
One would be hard pressed to find a tale more inspiring and devastating than the plot to kill Adolf Hitler on July 20th, 1944.
Led by Colonel Claus Josef Von Stauffenberg, a high ranking German officer, devout Catholic, scholar and badly wounded veteran of WW1,
the element of chance in the ultimate failure of his heroic historical gesture is chilling. Played by a youthful Brad Davis, the gentle and firm nature of the man is conveyed well.
Slowly becoming aware of the atrocities that the Third Reich were committing in Poland and the Eastern Front in general, Stauffenberg
originally planned to a coup--develop a shadow government and overthrow the SS, thereby rendering Hitler powerless. Reality set in after awhile, however, and Stauffenberg was granted the privilege and curse of seeing Adolf Hitler then as we see him now: a mass murdering psychopath.
Returning from Tunesia after surviving a combat related attack which rendered him blind in one eye, he told his brother Berthold (one of his only loyal co-conspirator when all hell broke loose) that he was willing to sacrifice his life to kill Hitler.
His decision would have a horribly adverse effect in the sense of taking countless lives and, most tragically, the torture and garrotting of Berthold, but had it succeeded Stauffenberg would be up there in the history books, and rightly so, with Martin Luther King, Gandhi, and a host of other great men. The film skips over his original indecision: whether to shoot Hitler (bad idea, since there were crackshot marksmen around him at all times), and a suicide bombing at an art museum in which only Stauffenberg and Hitler would perish (Hitler never showed up, changing his schedule once again). Stauffenberg knew his time was limited and that at some point Hitler would be in hiding somewhere and the concentration camps would be running as always even as his evil empire went into ruin.
The day came. Depicted perfectly and with no historical inaccuracies in this film, Stauffenberg walked into Hitler "Wolf's Lair" and set a bomb
in a briefcase beside him. It was a heavy oak table.
A German officer in the room who was advising Hitler, Colonel Brendt, got up and moved the briefcase because it was in his way.
A matter of hours later, Adolf Hitler was on the radio in Germany shouting that "Divine Providence had saved him for his Mission". The irony is crushing.
The scene in which Stauffenberg is executed is done dramatically here: he did not ... Read More

This film is about a group of hitlers senior army officers who are ploting to assinate hitler to try to save whats left of war torn germany.This movie stars the story of Col.claus von Stauffenberg who volenteers the mission of planting a bomb next to hitler in a meeting at his Wolf's lair.
