- In a country in the grips of evil, in a police state where every move is being watched, in a world where justice and honor have been subverted, a group of men hidden inside the highest reaches of power decide to take action. Tom Cruise stars in the suspense film, VALKYRIE, based on the true story of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (CRUISE) and the daring and ingenious plot to eliminate one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever known. Director Bryan Singer (THE USUAL SUSPECTS, X-MEN, SUPERMAN RETURNS) re-teams with Academy Award®-winning USUAL SUSPECTS screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie to bring to life the story of the men who led the operation to assassinate Hitler. The film also stars an acclaimed cast including Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Carice van Houten, Thomas Kretschmann, Eddie Izzard, Christian Berkel and Terence Stamp. A proud military man, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg is a loyal officer who serves his country all the while hoping that someone will find a way to stop Hitler before Europe and Germany are destroyed. Realizing that time is running out, he decides that he must take action himself and joins the German resistance. Armed with a cunning strategy to use Hitlers own emergency plan known as Operation Valkyrie these men plot to assassinate the dictator and overthrow his Nazi government from the inside. With everything in place, with the future of the world, the fate of millions and the lives of his wife and children hanging in the balance, von Stauffenberg is thrust from being one of many who oppose Hitler to the one who must kill Hitler himself. VALKYRIE is produced by Bryan Singer, Christopher McQuarrie and Gilbert Adler. McQuarrie co-wrote the original screenplay with Nathan Alexander who also serves as co-producer. The executive producers are Chris Lee, Ken Kamins, Daniel M. Snyder, Dwight C. Schar and Mark Shapiro. The film was shot in Germany at various locations where many of the actual events occurred, including the historic Bendlerblock. Recreating the atmosphere of urgency and paranoia inside the German resistance is a team that includes Singers frequent collaborators Newton Thomas Sigel (SUPERMAN RETURNS, X2, X-MEN) as director of photography and editor/composer John Ottman (SUPERMAN RETURNS, X2); as well as production designers Lilly Kilvert (two-time Oscar-nominee for THE LAST SAMURAI and LEGENDS OF THE FALL) and Patrick Lumb (THE OMEN) and costume designer Joanna Johnston (MUNICH, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN).

04:53 The last thing that went through the general's head, except for the bullet, was "where was Luftwaffe when Tunisia fell?"
I think heard him gurgling something about gonna roar or gong worn when he died
3:35 the british knew the captain of the titanic actually fled and they came back to finish the job
@@randomrazr ah, now I get it! They were low on water because it had frozen into an iceberg. In the desert...
Luftwaffe probably still in Gondor helping the Italian army
@@dutch9357 I'm sure the Mediterranean is as blue as it has been in his dreams.
Theoden's famous line - what would you have me do?
Two Towers
Valkyrie
THATS WHO HE IS!! Thank you! That’s been eating at me for days.
Glad you said it haha
I cannot unsee this. Thank you
Was an ad lib on his part or scripted? Either way it was a nice touch
@@omar168 scripted, or else that was incredibly good improv from Tom Cruise
A good movie about Afrika Korps would be welcomed
Wait we are coming sir if you're not mocking
@@jonasshiwayu7953 don't think anyone's expecting the next great ww2 movie to come out of nigeria or bollywood, but hey, let's see what you got lol
In a time when you cant even show svasticas in a video game? And sensitive people? Doubt so...problem is that kids are no longer learning about history due this times of "politically correct" and when people begins to forget history....
Absolutely
Imagine a movie about the Africa core of World War II To this day
3:35 the british knew the captain of the titanic actually fled and they came back to finish the job
Lmaoo
where was Gondor when titanic sunk and Afrikkorps were defeated
Captain Smith of the Titanic, Theoden, King of Rohan, Bernard Hill is a wonderful actor.
Not forgetting Yosser Hughes in Boys from the blackstuff from the very early 80s.
@@simonkenny3497 gissa job!
No wonder he looks so familiar!
It took me years to realize that this General was Bernard Hill...
AND
For uniform quality. By far the best modern era war movie.
There also was a German version of Valkyrie and it was significantly better than the American version the German version with English subtitles is still ahead of the Yankee version.
Unfortunate e fails
@@christophera556 what is the name of the german movie?
Nah. Two seconds in and you can see that the General is wearing the incorrect neck ribbon for his Knights Cross. JS.
@@mattfulmer4243 cringe touch grass
i love this movie because it is a kind of movie that lasts for 2 hours but feels like 15 minutes. You watch it on one breath from the very first minutes and to the end. Very tence and dynamic
yup
right on thje money

Idk if that’s a good thing. Great movies that are long still feel long to me, but I don’t care because I’m engrossed in it
and even though you KNOW they are going to fail, you can't stop thinking "maybe that will work ?"
What would you have me do? Look at my men. Their courage hangs by a thread. If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end as to be worthy of remembrance
Where is this from?
Ah its form LOTR, nice reference 👍
Was just about to post the same thing!
@@ToddDunning where was Tom trying to go with the car?
@@TheUltimateTroll9 to Berlin
No CGI. It's just like the scene where the two Junkers were landing. They used actual aircraft.
Those are not those junkers those were p-40 tiger sharks
@@ivansanta-maria1328 yes, and the scene where the transports are landing involved real aircraft.
Tom Cruise's best movie, great cast and one of the better WW2 flicks
Dead Reckoning hype tho ;D
Broooo what?
Nope. Magnolia is his best part.
Would have been better if it was actually in german
color of money good too check it out you forget about his scientology weirdness
The WW2 movies from the German perspective are usually the best. There is no glitz and glamor, "Das Boot" "Stalingrad" just to name a few.
Keep going...
Little late but I would wholeheartedly recommend Generation War. Little short tv series but it’s still a good German perspective
@@Joke_Bidumb "The Eagle Has Landed"
Is it Tom Cruise who's speaking the German part in the intro?? Wow, I'm impressed! He did it really well. You can still hear it's not a native speaker, but VERY well done.
It's not bad, his accent is very forced though which gives it away.
Yes it’s okay. At least it’s German. In many movies they just speak gibberish.
It s nothing. He just read some line. I can do it too 😉
As everyone knows, Tom Cruise is very serious about his preparation for roles, so what he did for Valkyrie was commission a time machine and head back to the 1960's when he was a boy. There he learned German and grew up to be a movie actor a second time. There's an alternate reality where his resume looks quite different.
@@LeChristVraiDieu any averagely intelligent English speaker over the age of about 30 should manage it.It isn't like pronouncing something in Polish or Russian
The script wrote for Stauffenberg to have had the troops stand in group formation to wait out the incoming fighters, and for them to break formation once the fighters started shooting. That would've been better - to have seen Tom Cruise's portrayal of Stauffenberg actually commanding his men in the combat field, calling the shots while under enemy fire.
**“Where was Gondor when the West front fell, where was Gondor when our enemies closed in us, where was Gondor..!”**
Sick dude sick I love king theodin and angmar leader of the left flank past the wall
He survived hitting an iceberg just to be shot in the desert!
At 3:39 When he asks What would you have me do? I say," Muster the Rohirrim and go and fight for Gondor against the Orcs Theodon King"
Haha, As the Kittyhawks descended... "Now it begins..."
IMHO the best aerial attack scene ever. Extremely realistic. And that unmistakable Rolls-Royce (or Packard) Merlin sound.
The germans would have seen and heard those planes minutes before they arrived...not being surprised last second, other then that great scene.
@@gurrakungen It all depends... Let's have scenario in which (for example) a squadron in scattered formation - single aircraft and pairs/groups combined - is returning to base (after a dogfight or bombing mission) on low level. And a single fighter just jumped by a chance trucks, just dead ahead. Fast decision and radio warning, and here we have another fast group - strafing, before crossing a frontline. Totally plausible, I expect it to happen very often during WW2.
The P-40 had an Allison engine which actually was first used in the P-51 until the British replaced it with the RR. But yes, all those V-12's sound great!
Not packard. Vastly inferior engine
@@CMOT101 some of the later models had Merlins built under license by Packard.
10th Panzer North Africa 1943.
The General is probably Generalleutnant Friedrich Freiherr von Broich, 10th Panzer's Commander at that time.
Played by King Theoden! :)
no because he died in the engagement and this dude lived till 1974
It must be Generalleutnant Wolfgang Fischer KIA Feb.1943
@@norbertderiro9458 no he was killed by a mine not an air attack
Yozzer Hughes had plenty of work after all. He skipped a few timelines to serve on the Titanic.
A very underrated film.
If only Hans Landa was here everyone could have survived.
Who’s Hans landa?
@@zyzor A damn good detective
That's a bingo!
haha yeah.
@@elxaime ya just say bingo.
When that 20mil started popping off I jumped! LOL
- Send for reinforcements, general.
- Were was Romel when Tobruk fell? Were was OKW when the allies captured Oran ? Νο, master Stauffenberg, we're alone in this front.
Tom should make "A Higher Call" into a movie. Great book and German pilot who let a very wounded B-17 go.
Someone will.....it's a great story....and an incredible ending
He risked his life, two times that day. To save an unknown enemy
When Toms characters "Sell" something (Idea/Product/talent/etc) its ALWAYS so dam fascinating. Opening scene to Rain man with him selling cars, Jerry Maguire as he sells his athletes, American Made selling his drugs/connections, and this film, just dam great acting!
And dont forget in the The Firm trying to justify his affair LOL
2:51
RIP
Bernard Hill
(1944-2024)
The 2nd Valkyrie actor to die in a little over 4 months.
@@finchborat You said it. Hill and Tom Wilkinson will be missed. 😢💔
@@StephenLuke And I was watching Valkyrie for its 15th anniversary at the same time Wilkinson died. I didn't find out until the next day.
I can always appreciate any videos of this scene that actually take the time to provide subtitles for while Tom is speaking German at the start here.
Noticed they gave each other the normal military salute, good foreshadowing of the type of man he was!
That's how Germans saluted during WW2, it was only after the July plot that Hitler ordered the Wehrmacht to do the Nazi salute. The only soldiers who did it before then were the SS or if you were meeting Hitler himself
The normal salute is used by the Wehrmacht on a daily basis. The Roman (Nazi) salute is only used in official and political gatherings, usually when the Fuhrer is around, or used exclusively by the SS and other Nazi political bodies.
@envitech02 not completely right. Sometime after the time this movie plays the Hitlergruß became the normal Salut of the Wehrmacht. At least officially.
@@Bullet_Tooth84 After Stauffenberg's bomb plot failed, the Hitler salute became compulsory in the army. Prior to that only the Waffen-SS did it, among the armed forces and everyone else used the normal military salute.
@@stevekaczynski3793 even the waffen ss used the Army salute cause many members of the w-ss were former Wehrmacht soldiers
Great Film...
Last 20 minutes..the Plot totally unwinds..
True story..desperate Hours in History..
Tom have a Heck of a Time getting this to screens
Where was the Gondor when El Alamein falled?
holy hell. After all these years I literally just no realizd the High officer was also Theoden in LOTR
That German general couldn’t avoid an iceberg either….
Nor could he dodge the lion's attack on Tsavo
I really wish we'd get a modern era big budget hollywood production set in the North African theater. It's criminally underrepresented in film, we've got movies like Saving Private Ryan, Enemy At The Gates, Dunkirk, Midway (yes I know it sucked), or miniseries like Band of Brothers and The Pacific.... but what have we got in that vein for North Africa? That incredible cut and thrust of mobile warfare, survival in extreme conditions, brief moments of chivalry between enemies, the stories of raids by commandos driving trucks mounted with every machinegun they could get their hands on charging in guns blazing to airstrips to wreak havok and destroy materials, before disappearing into the desert night and navigating by the stars seeming like something out of the grittiest pulp magazines, the dynamic personalities of military leaders earning nicknames like "Electric Whiskers", "The Desert Fox", "Old Blood and Guts", "The Auk", it was one of the greatest true stories ever told. So why on earth has cinema shunned it so?
It's hard to film in the desert...why do you think it took so long for another Mad Max?
There are always reruns of "Rat Patrol".
Why not east Africa? Maybe because the Italians will come off looking better(British Somalia)?
Look for an old movie called sea of sand
LRDG
This movie was incredibly accurate. It never got the respect it deserved.
It really wasn't. Colonel Stauffenberg and a lot of his co conspiritors had a very different outlook on Germanys role in the war and it's crimes, than what was portrayed in the film
@@heno02 This is a great movie, but the old german version is better.
@@ThePRCommander is the name same? i mean how do i find it?
@@nivalius My mistake, I thought of the
Wannsee Conference (Full Movie in German w subtitles), not Operation Valykrie.
There is a German movie from 2004 about Operation Valkyrie, dubbed pretty bad in English. I haven't seen it, but now I found it.
Operation Valkyrie (aka Stauffenberg) 2004 Sebastian Koch Full Movie HD

@@ThePRCommander aye, thank you so much
Have to respect Stauffenburg for not resigning from the Army but staying in
till the time came to play his last card.
Respect? For what? He was a committed Nazi until things started to turn - as they all were - especially command structure of Army Group Center who had their feelings hurt in December '41 which all led to "Madman Hitler - Get Out Of Jail Free" card which was played over and over.
"Atrocities committed by the Nazis". He meant to write "atrocities committed by Wehrmacht soldiers under my command. Oh wait... that includes me. I better do something or I will be hung at the war trials".
@@BlackMan614 Well, the apostle Paul was a Christian Killer till he changed the course he was going and it cost him his life too at the hands of the Jews he once was a Paragon for . It's not how we starts off that so much matters but how we finish. We are free to change course and our loyalties at anytime in life. Always better to be correct all the way through life but for many of us it takes a bit more of travel down the path before we can fine tune our compass. If you have been on the straight, narrow and good all your life so far hats off to you but remember, not all are so wise.
@@joycekoch5746Very well said.
The movie is so tense I met men who fought in North Africa and wander about them and how they dealt with air attacks and heat and thirst and the fear of getting lost in a vast desert.
What? 🤨
When you get in a car accident, you knew what you were doing was dangerous when you started - your senses were already on high alert. The first time something falls out of the sky next to you, and you realize it could just have well gone through you, and that the next one might... it's a different sort of feeling. You question your own sense of standing on solid ground, and how much that even really means.
King Theodén: " 6000 panzers, less than half i was hoping for"
Wow! What an opener!
I have tried to find information on the Journal/kalender he is writing in during the opening sequence. Any help appreciated.
Wow. What a scene.
I used to hate cruise... then I watched this movie. Been a massive fan of his since.😂
@WeaselHalfbreed Who would you have selected? I didn't mind Cruise playing this role because he really looks a lot like the real Stauffenberg and Cruise dies at the end.
"where was italy when the west front fell?"
Air superiority, one of the big reason why the allies won the war.
Specifically, with the presence of weak Itlaian and Austrian armies... Actually Germany and Japan were alone against giants!!
@@alyal-majuid4950 Austrian armies? Austria was annexed in 1938 lol.
@Alexis Z. Germany had access to oil via Romania. But not on a scale like the allies had. Germany was only able to conduct limited offensives.
With air superiority you mean russians right??
@Alexis Z. it wasn't just a lack of oil, it was a lack of industry, manpower, logistical capabilities. Germany was done for from the git-go.
Real good use and sound with the spits in this scene
One of the most underrated movies of all
Another Hollywood loves Tom Cruise film!
General Patton is finally getting a mention in this video
All ground troops of the nazi machine feared Patton ...
May Bernard Hill rest in peace
Such a supercool movie, Tom Cruise and the cast are stellar.
So King Theoden was defeated by air-attack again?^^
"Where is the panzer and the reiter..."
A movie about the battle of Bir-Hakeim would fill in the gaps…
Tom Cruise at his best.
1:56 As the German fades out … English fades in. A brilliant way to translate the spoken language of the story to a wider audience.
Here because Ryan George (Pitch Meeting)..??
A special❤️ for this movie, bos that time i was at 19 and i still remmeber i saw this movie in theatere and gon to swimming, now its a NOSTA😢
A titan. A king.
The most accurate part of this intro is the German vehicle not starting lol
As a former BMW owner, I was triggered.
The vehicle started but then he never bothered using the indicators.
Great example of tactical surprise. Distract then attack.
4:47 Now THAT is an ass.
a tom cruise ass
Didn’t think Théoden would join the Axis, but life’s funny that way.
He was nearly nobbled by Saruman, so what do you expect?
You have take make living where u can
P-40s were nasty little monsters.
But by 42 were a little bit long in the tooth weren't they?
Stauffenberg knows full well how inflammatory dissent is, so why is he writing down such thoughts in a journal? Just curious
In case he died, which is what happened when the operation failed, he wanted to keep a record so the Allies knew what his thoughts were and what he and the others tried to do. I don't know if the real Stauffenberg actually kept a journal, but I'm just saying in context of the movie.
so he can go home and make a FB or Twitter post regarding it xD
I write down my thoughts as well, likely because nobody listens to me.
@@rebar59duffy84 is there a noise in the room?
@@jamesupton4996 James, I suppose there is always a din in the room.
Though Von Stauffenberg’s words were noble, I am sorry to say that they were “a buck short and a day late”, as the expression goes. That is, diminutive madman Adolph Hitler could not have retained absolute control of the German military without the obsequious obedience of general rank officers like Von Stauffenberg and Rommel. They, and others with with great authority, influence and ability, should have organized a coup against Hitler at the very beginning - not at the end of the war. The heroic leaders in Nazi-era Germany were men like Dietrich Bonhoeffer ( “The Cost of Discipleship” ) and Father Reinisch - who was one of many priests who refused to take an oath of obedience to Adolph Hitler. Father Reinisch was tried and sentenced to death by guillotine in the cellar of Nazi headquarters. His bishop refused him a last Confession, Extreme Unction and Viaticum, saying that Father Reinisch was “unpatriotic” and a “troublemaker” ( I am guessing that is why St. Athanasius said ; “The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops” … ). Whether civil, military or ecclesiastical, those in authority who were complicit with the Nazis will have to answer for much on the terrible day of judgement.
Technically speaking, Hitler only killed one person during the war - himself. That is, Germany could not have become a highly-organized international killing machine without the capitulation and cooperation of tens of millions of German citizens who “went along to get along” with the Nazis. As Hitler’s rise to power was the fruit of the collective hate, greed and cowardice of the German people, then the words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn ring true ; “A nation gets the leadership it deserves”.
Long live sacred Gemany.
I wonder what the most replayed moment of this film is
3:00 King Theoden changed uniform...
3:35 Send out Riders, my Lord! You must call for aid!
Woops, wrong movie..
“The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.
4:48 i bet that rear shot wasn't planned at all
WHERE WAS GONDOR WHEN THE NORTH AFRICAN CAMPAIGN FELL?
Good thing nobody found his diary after those P-40 Warhawks sent him to the intensive care unit ...
Stauffenberg calls for aid! And Rohan will answer!
I like the scene " DOWN " and everyone sits down
Somehow, Tom Cruise survived this brutal attack...
"Patton's closing in on the coast" ... Patton was the Commander of the US II Corps at this point.
2nd corps 3rd Army
I love Patton's statement in reference to Hitler,"Im gonna shoot that paper hanging son of bitch myself"!
Yes, the Battle of El Guettar. Patton became the first general to defeat experienced German tank groups.
@@chulkwon4088 First general of what?
@@chulkwon4088 first AMERICAN general to defeat the panzers, absolutly not the first general. El Alamein had occured before the allies even landed in Algeria and thats not even considering the eastern front or Operation Crusader
Good shot of a bofors in action.
First time that I remember seeing Afrika Korps on the big screen since The Big Red One in the early 80s
Good to see that the leader of the Rohirrim got another military command.
Where was Gondor when North Africa fell....
I really like the transition from German to English.
King Theoden... NOOOOOOOO
Hail Theoden, King!
The opening is such a great scene for WW 2 history fans like me. It shows the feared Afkria Korp waiting for orders. Then , a flight of P51s screaming in dropping bombs and with all six 50 caliber guns blazing, chewing up men and machines. It had to be terrifying for the soldiers caught in the open. Great scene.
P-40's bud. Not mustangs.
@@2_505th I stand corrected
Sounds like you're more of a WW 2 gore and carnage fan than a history fan.
@@Philmoscowitz Ah, a limp wristed , bleeding heart. My late father fought in WW2. I'm proud of his sacrifice and service for his country.WW 2 movies remind me of him and what he faced to survive. Thank God, he came home and gave me my life. If you're such a wimp, don't watch war movies or read stories on CZcams about them.
P 40 warhawks
I don't remember that Theodén and Maverick served in Wehrmacht :D
It’s crazy, I remember this movie well or thought I did. All the scenes in Germany I remember them well.
These opening scenes in Africa, I swear I have never seen them before.
You were getting popcorn? :)
What was the name of the general he was speaking too? The commander of the 10th Panzer division at that time was Friedrich Freiherr von Broich and he was no killed during the war.
Wolfgang Fischer
@@mimir4965 For dramatic reasons they conflated the death of Fischer on 1 Feb 43 with the attack that injured von Stauffenberg on 7 April. Fischer actually died as a result of his vehicle hitting a landmine.
Conscientious and decent.
Tom Cruise's German is pretty good. Nice transition.
Wow, Tom Cuises German pronunciation in the beginning of the movie is OUTSTANDING
epic, ánd realistic opening, regards
4:28
*WARHAWK'S TIME*
MustangR69 the RAF used P-40s, although we called them Tomahawks (P-40A - P-40C) and Kittyhawks (P-40D onwards)
The P-40 seen in this clip is supposed to be from 112 "Shark" Squadron
btw the Aussies and New Zealanders also used P-40s
RAAF No.3 Squadron...
na huh
Looked like a Curtis Kittyhawk, with teeth insignia as standard in the desert campaign - but not sure... The raid in the movie packed a punch - a dramatic opener to a great movie
He is not the Captain from movie Titanic?
"Unconditional obiedience".
GONDOR?!
Where was Gondor when the Afrika Corp was fighting for it's life?
Where was Gondor when the Iceberg struck the Titanic?
Where was Gondor When the Lions massacred the workers in Tsavo?
Where was Gondor when Fletcher Christian committed Mutiny on the HMS Bounty?
Absurd, no such conversation would have been held openly in front of literally everyone to eavesdrop on and an officer known to openly critizize Hitler in such strong terms would have never been let near him, and in fact, he may have found himself much more severely punished than merely being deployed to North Africa.
That's when he met the Rita Vrataski.
Funny seeing Tom in a German uniform
Best part of the movie, the rest (except for the end), seems a theatrical play, a good one, but still
those vehicles exploded waaay to easy
Yosser Hughes finally got a job !
