This chilling tale of duty and conscience is based on the true story of a failed attempt by the German Army to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944. Approved by Hitler himself, Operation Valkyrie begins as a plan to maintain order in the event of the Fuhrer's death. But when Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg joins the German Resistance, a plot is hatched to kill Hitler and use Operation Valkyrie to overthrow the government and make peace with the Allies. The devil, as always, is in the details.
