Overview: In a country in the face of evil, in a police state where every move is being seen, in a world where justice and honor have been subverted, a group of men hidden inside the highest reaches of power deciding to take action. Based on the true story of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg and the bold and ingenious plot to eliminate one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever known.

A proud military man, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg was a loyal official who served his country all the time hoping that someone will find a way to stop Hitler before Europe and Germany are destroyed. Aware that time is running out, decides to take action himself and joins the German resistance. Armed with a clever strategy to use Hitler's own emergency plan - known as Operation Valkyrie - these men plot to assassinate the dictator and Nazi overthrow his government from within.

With everything in place, with the future of the world, the fate of millions of people and the lives of his wife and children hanging in the balance, von Stauffenberg was pushing to be one of the many who opposed Hitler, to which one must kill Hitler himself.
