Tom is on the hook for over 100 million dollars with Valkyrie, a movie in which he plays the real-life failed assassin of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.
At the height of World War 2, a group of high-ranking German officers hatched a plot to assassinate Hitler, and seize power of the military command in order to end the war. The operation was codenamed “Valkyrie”, for the emergency plan that was meant to be used in case of a revolt against the Nazi government. This plan had been modified by the conspirators to ensure their success, but for various reasons the plot failed when finally carried out on 20 July 1944. The conspirators of the inner circle were shot after a kangaroo trial or sentenced to death soon after.

Tom Cruise stars in the suspense film based on the true story of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg and the daring and ingenious plot to eliminate one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever known.

The final trailer for United Artists’ film will premiere on Yahoo! Movies around 8pm PST tonight.
