Fox News. Paul Herbert Germany's Finance Valkyrie cast had originally denied the producers the right to film at Bendlerblock, valkyrie cast, explaining that the site should be treated as a "place of remembrance and mourning" which would "lose dignity if we were to exploit it as a film set".

The film is set in Nazi Germany during World War II and depicts the 20 July plot in by German army officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler and to use the Operation Valkyrie national emergency plan to take control of the country. Cruise's casting caused controversy among German politicians and members of the von Stauffenberg family due to the actor's practice of Scientology , which is viewed with suspicion in Germany. Because of this, the filmmakers initially had difficulty setting up filming locations in Germany, but they were later given access to locations such as Berlin's historic Bendlerblock. German newspapers and filmmakers supported the film and its intention to spread global awareness of von Stauffenberg's plot. The film changed release dates several times, from as early as June 27, , to as late as February 13, The changing calendar and poor response to United Artists's initial marketing campaign drew criticism about the film's viability, and followed by a positive test screening, Valkyrie ' s release in North America was ultimately changed to December 25, , and was opened in Germany on January 22, United Artists renewed its marketing campaign to reduce its focus on Cruise and to highlight Singer's credentials.

At the center of the plot was Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, played here by Tom Cruise as the moving force behind the attempted coup, which led to arrests and executions, including von Stauffenberg's. Because we know Hitler survived, the suspense is centered in the minds of the participants, who call up the Reserve Army and actually arrest SS officials before discovering that their bomb did not kill its target. Considering they were planning high treason with the risk of certain death, the conspirators seem remarkably willing to speak almost openly of their contempt for Hitler. That may be because they were mostly career officers in the army's traditional hierarchy and hated Hitler as much for what he was doing to the army as for what he was doing to the country.
