Well directed by Lawrence Schiller, a modest well-paced telling of the plot to rid the world of Hitler. This drama is set in 1944, German war hero Count Claus von Stauffenberg(Brad Davis), who lost a hand and an eye in action, ramrods a secretive group of high level officers in the attempt to assassinate Adolph Hitler(Mike Gwilyn). The scheme is daring and methodical; but succeeding would show the German population just what evil Hitler is doing with concentration camps. Plus the group willing to carrying out the plot have been convinced by von Stauffenberg that the Third Reich is crumbling, Hitler is losing his mind and that the German army is actually losing the war.
Being made-for-TV, there is little violence to speak of, no strong language and flat acting. Also in the cast: Ian Richardson, Helmut Lohner, Madolyn Smith Osborne, Johathan Hyde and Kenneth Colley.
