Synopsis

During World War II, the German Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg is severely wounded in Africa and returns home to Nazi Germany. Stauffenberg joins the German Resistance and plans Operation Valkyrie, a plot that would assassinate Germany's Nazi Führer Adolf Hitler and replace him with a shadow government. Stauffenberg finds himself taking on not only the responsibility of leading the coup, but also the task to assassinate Hitler himself.
