VALKYRIE (2008)

Synopsis Valkyrie (2008) In Nazi Germany during World War II, as the tide turned in favor of the Allies, a cadre of senior German officers and politicians desperately plot to topple the Nazi regime before the nation is crushed in a nearly inevitable defeat. To this end, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, an Army officer convinced he must save Germany from Adolf Hitler, is recruited to mastermind a real plan. To do so, he arranges for the internal emergency measure, Operation: Valkyrie, to be changed to enable his fellows to seize control of Berlin after the assassination of Der FA¼hrer. However, even as the plan is put into action, a combination of bad luck and human failings conspire on their own to create a tragedy that would prolong the greater one gripping Europe. ??Kenneth Chisholm Awards: 3 wins & 11 nominations Budget: $75,000,000 (estimated) Worldwide Gross: $201,545,517 Soundtrack: They'll Remember You (Written by John Ottman and Lior Rosner)
