Valkyrie (1/11) Movie CLIP - Death From Above (2008) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Allied planes strafe the German convoy, injuring Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
At the absolute height of World War II, German generals hatch a daring plan to assassinate Adolf Hitler and effectively render the German war machine impotent. Directed by Bryan Singer, Valkyrie stars Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the real-life mastermind behind the elaborate plot known as Project Valkyrie: a plan to assassinate Hitler and overthrow his government from the inside. Stauffenberg has been a loyal soldier and an asset to the Reich for his entire military career, but after losing an eye, a hand, and three fingers in an Allied bombing, he reaches a breaking point. The destructive madness that his country is unleashing on the world has become too terrible for the colonel to stand silent. He joins the resistance movement -- a treasonous act, punishable by death -- and risks his life and the life of his family for the chance to change history. Comprised of high-ranking officials working in secret, the German Resistance has access to the inner workings of the government and military, putting them in the perfect position to dispatch the dictator and then use his own official contingency plan to seize power -

HIT US UP:

I like how the AA actually does its job and spots the aircraft before it makes its attack and hits it with the appropriate delayed-fuze rounds

[billdoetree]

Tom Cruise is so dedicated to doing his own stunts that he demanded that the aircraft fire real ammunition during the scene. The rest of the set crew did not make it but he dedicated the movie and their names for their sacrifice to the scene.

Bernard Hill
Sank with the Titanic;
Chewed by the Nazgul in the Battle of Pelennor fields;
Strafed by the British in North Africa.

[daibando]

The sound of the AA guns at the first fighter sighting is one of the best movie gun sounds I’ve ever heard .

[patrickmccrann]

This movie was based on Stauffenberg's diaries saved by his wife during the war. She tried to get the Allies to look at them post war, but they wouldn't. She fought for decades to convince people that there were those in Germany that tried to overthrow Hitler. Cruise was able to view them and use information to make this movie the closest portrayal of the actual events ever recorded. It took him years to get this movie released, but finally succeeded. She passed away shortly before it was released without seeing the finished product.

"He who does not have control of the air in modern warfare fights like men with spears against men with rifles and with the same chances of success."- Rommel.

[mandibledev]

1:25 Tom Cruise out here double cheeked up smuggling an entire wedding cake god damn

[billace]

Nice Panzer IV there....
But, the guy selected to play the General always gets it...went down with the Titanic and now gets killed in North Africa...

[freedomloverusa]

The AA actually engaged the distraction, that succeeded in getting everyone’s attention, while the real attack came from different directions, without being noticed. The coordination and execution of the air attack was superb.

[davidrpriest]

This scene is incredibly well done and accurate. This is why Rommel wanted his panzers close to the beaches in France. He has seen allied air power in Africa first hand and knew moving when the enemy has air superiority is impossible.

[HRHooChicken]

Where was Gondor when the Third Reich fell?

[flyforce]

Poor Bernard Hill. He always dies in his movies!

[JoshyHendoMan]

Heard Tom Cruise is so committed to doing his own stunts, that he demanded they re-shoot this scene till his hand was blown off and eye gouged out.

[nicholaspatton]

The British knew that the captain of the Titanic had escaped. They came to finish the job.

[robertmorris]

Reading some of these comments about getting in the car....He is stunned by the blast, his first thought and instinct was to check on his men, the general, seeing him dead then he turned to the wounded driver and appeared to me to be trying to take him for medical attention, not "taking cover in the vehicle". Outstanding officer. Very few are ever available.

[MichalKaczorowski]

I like Panzer IV mockups, not crappy repainted T-34 :)

[SamGittings]

My great grandfather was in Africa, when he returned after the war he told stories of how Stukas came from behind the sun to stop the aa guys from seeing them.. decimated their camp

[matej]

Obviously the best way to avoid strafing fighters is sit into personal vehicle....
