Plot to Kill Hitler

In the waning days of Nazi Germany, a group of senior army officers led by suave aristocrat Col. Claus von Stauffenberg risks all to save what's left of their war-ravaged nation. Their goal: kill the Fuhrer during a strategy meeting at his Wolfsschanze (Wolfs Lair). Brad Davis (Midnight Express) plays von Stauffenberg in this re-creation of the July 20, 1944 event - which grew out of the Third Reichs Operation Valkyrie emergency plan - that might have changed World War IIs bloody outcome. This David L. Wolper (Roots, The Thorn Birds) production glistens with period authenticity and crackles with suspense as directed by Lawrence Schiller (The Executioners Song). History records the result of The Plot to Kill Hitler. This gripping movie tells the powerful tale of sacrifice and heroism behind it.
