Valkyrie (2008)

This is a movie that is based on a true story. The story takes place in the end of the Second World War, and the actual event that the movie reflects is the July 20 plot. The plot was an attempt to kill Adolf Hitler and take control over Germany.

The German army officer Claus von Stauffenberg (played by Tom Cruise) was the man behind the plans for the July 20 plot. He was near getting killed in North Africa, and when he recovered from that accident he was given a new position as a colonel in Germany. Claus and some other officers, generals and highly positioned political people started to form a plan for how they would get rid of Adolf Hitler and take power over the country.

I have a thing for movies that are based on true stories/events, and maybe that is why I also think that this movie is really good. The movie is really thrilling and the actual plan that they had for taking over the country was really cool I think.
