• Trivia The "central communications center" (teleprinter room), which appears several times in this movie, is a highly accurate depiction. Nearly thirty historically correct original teleprinter machines of various types were used. Some were provided by collector and technical consultant Henning Treumann , and some borrowed from other sources. All of the machines were fully operational, and, in the movie, are all printing authentic archival messages from the Nazi era, fed from off-screen teletype machines and notebook computers.
• Goofs On the day of the attempt at Rastenburg, Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg managed to get through Security Zone II with his briefcase containing the explosives without problems. He knew however that on entering the inner Security Zone I, all personnel except Adolf Hitler 's inner circle were thoroughly searched, as a precaution against assassination attempts. In order to avoid it, von Stauffenberg arranged so that he entered the Zone with Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel - an officer in Keitel's company would not be searched.

The 'July 20 Plot' on Hitler's life is one of the most heroic but least known episodes of World War Two. Severely wounded in combat, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) returns from Africa to join the German Resistance and help create Operation Valkyrie, the complex plan that will allow a shadow government to replace Hitler once he is dead.

But fate and circumstance conspire to thrust Stauffenberg from one of many in the plot to a double-edged central role. Not only must he lead the coup and seize control of his nation’s government… He must kill Hitler himself.

Valkyrie | Ratings & Reviews

Rotten tomatoes® rating, audience score rating.

"The good news first: this is as classy looking a suspense thriller as you’d expect from the maker of The Usual Suspects. I found little to gripe about in terms of its pacing, imagery (lots of Nazi black, white and red, naturally) or indeed its performances."

"Has visual splendor galore, but is a cold work lacking in the requisite tension and suspense."

"If Mr. Cruise doesn't work in Valkyrie, it's partly because he's too modern, too American and way too Tom Cruise to make sense in the role, but also because what passes for movie realism keeps changing, sometimes faster than even a star can change his brand."

"Tom Cruise is perfectly satisfactory, if not electrifying, in the leading role."

"A perfectly acceptable motion picture. The only thing that keeps it from even greater accomplishments may be inherent in the story itself."

"Singer has crafted a fine film. One just wishes for greater details -- and a different ending."

"A film more concerned with 'how' than 'why' or 'who', Valkyrie would have benefited from more scrutiny and complexity. Still, once the bomb goes off, the thrills come in spades."

Meet Tom Cruise's three rarely seen children: Suri, Bella and Connor

H e's one of, if not perhaps the most, prolific movie stars in modern Hollywood history, so it's no wonder that everything about Tom Cruise – from his impressive roles to his love life and Scientology in between – is often under the glare of the spotlight.

But when it comes to the perhaps complex relationships between him and his children, the A-lister chooses to keep things more under wraps.

The 61-year-old actor, who rose to stratospheric fame thanks to his early roles as Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell in 1986's Top Gun and as Charlie Babbitt in the 1998 Oscar-winning movie Rain Man , has three children from his previous marriages to fellow actors Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes .

All three of his kids are living quite different lives from one another. Find out more about Tom's three adult children, Bella, Connor and Suri below .

Bella Cruise, 31

Tom Cruise married his second wife, Nicole Kidman, in 1990 after meeting and falling in love on the set of Days of Thunder . 

After going through fertility challenges, they decided to adopt and, in 1992, they welcomed their daughter, Bella, into the family.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's strict divorce rules for daughter Suri

The stars whose kids have regular jobs: from bruce springsteen's firefighter son to harrison ford's chef son, katie holmes beams with pride as daughter suri cruise drops her estranged father tom's last name at graduation, inside nicole kidman's famous dating history - from tom cruise to keith urban.

Bella, now 31, who goes by "Bella Kidman Cruise," is an artist and graphic designer who creates merchandise with her work and has also displayed her art in galleries and exhibitions.

Her work often features takes on the bright and colorful mixed with dark and surrealist themes, with the bio on her website reading: "Bella has been drawing ever since her wee hands could pick up a pen.

"Since that point in time, she's been evolving in her arts. Her go-to medium was pen and paper for most of her life. 

"However, she is now venturing into other formats and mediums. Including digital. Which has been a bit of a game-changer in her opinion. We hope you dig it."

She resides in London with her husband Max Parker while maintaining a pretty low-key lifestyle, occasionally sharing personal posts on Instagram.

Connor Cruise, 29

Shortly after adopting Bella, Nicole and Tom adopted Connor who, like his older sister, is creative and even tried his hand at acting, following in his parents' footsteps. In 2008, he gained a credit in the film Seven Pounds  and in 2012 he appeared in  Red Dawn.

However, in recent times, he's stepped away from the spotlight and launched his own business, Connor's Meat Shack. Though he does often make public appearances for example at Fashion Week earlier this year.

As the children grew up and after Tom and Nicole's divorce in 2001, there were reports that the children had, like their dad, joined the church of scientology. This then fuelled reports that Bella and Connor had a more strained and distant relationship with their mother, Nicole, who does not identify as a Scientologist.

However, in recent times, Nicole has emphasized her loyalty to her children and dispelled rumours of a falling out. 

In a candid interview with Who in 2018, Nicole expressed her philosophy of tolerance and open-heartedness: "I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe – that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I’m open here."

She also told the Sun the following year: "Motherhood is about the journey. There are going to be incredible peaks and valleys, whether you are an adopting mother or a birth mother. What a child needs is love.

"They have made choices to be Scientologists. It’s our job as a parent to always offer unconditional love."

Tom's relationship with his older children

Last month, fans got an insight into Tom's relationship with his two older children as he was pictured with Connor and Bella at a hockey game. In a rare outing together, the three were seen, among others, smiling for the camera after watching the game.

The photo was shared by former NFL star Derrick Brooks who wrote: "Wow, look who stopped by my office before our [Tampa Bay Lightning] game tonight! @tomcruise." Both Connor and Bella were pictured in the photo, proving they still enjoy quality time with their dad.

Suri Cruise is Tom's youngest and only child whom he shares with ex-wife Katie Holmes . The pair welcomed their daughter in June 2006 and, up until their divorce, were pictured multiple times as a family unit.

Tom and Katie split in 2012 with Katie filing the divorce papers, with reports at the time suggesting that Katie wanted to remove herself and Suri from the church of Scientology.

Since their split, Tom has had a reportedly estranged relationship with his daughter, Suri, now 18 , and the movie star was not present at her recent graduation ceremony in New York.

What's more, photos from inside the ceremony at her high school indicate that Suri had dropped her last name, instead being listed as Suri Noelle.

Katie and her daughter are a tight-knit unit and live together in NYC.

Entertainment | after tom cruise once denied ‘abandoning’ suri, she seems to get the last word, cruise's absence from his daughter's high school graduation last weekend has again sparked questions and criticism about his alleged choice to not have a role in her life.

In a September 2013 deposition for the case, the Hollywood mega-star explained his objections to reports by In Touch that said he had cut ties with a then-7-year-old Suri after Holmes divorced him in 2012. He took issue with the publication claiming that he, a top celebrity member of Scientology, had chosen the church over his daughter “for good.”

“‘Abandoned by Daddy,’” Cruise said angrily in the deposition, referring to the headline of the story. “I mean, come on, that is absolutely disgusting. That is absolutely disgusting.”

But as Queen Elizabeth II once famously said about “recollections,” definitions of “abandonment” also may vary in this situation. In a report this week, The Sun quoted insiders who said that Cruise has not seen his daughter in 11 years.

Allegations of “abandonment” returned last weekend as Cruise let himself be photographed at one of Taylor Swift’s sold-out “Eras Tour” performances at Wembley Stadium in London. The “Top Gun” actor was seen exchanging friendship bracelets, hanging out with NFL star Travis Kelce and dancing to Swift’s music in the VIP seats.

But the night before, Cruise very publicly missed a major milestone in Suri’s life: her graduation from the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City.

Cruise’s absence from Suri’s graduation made headlines. And then came more headlines about the 18-year-old dropping her father’s surname for the ceremony. She instead used the name “Siri Noelle.”

Sources told Page Six that the new name was a tribute to her mother. Noelle is Katie Holmes’ middle name, and Holmes has essentially raised Suri as a single parent in New York City since her divorce from Cruise.

It’s not clear whether Suri has gone to court to make the name change official, Page Six said. A source told the publication that Suri dropped her father’s surname because she wants her “own identity” and to “start fresh at college.”

But Suri’s new name choice also could be seen as a rebuke of her famous father — a sign that she has, in her way, abandoned him.

Tony Ortega, a journalist who covers Scientology, called Cruise out this week for “abandonment,” following reports about the actor going to Swift’s concert but not his daughter’s graduation. In an email newsletter for his Underground Bunker newsletter, Ortega said that choices Cruise has made over the past 12 years show that his “abandonment” of his daughter is “even worse than most people realize.”

Cruise and Holmes began dating in 2005, became parents to Suri in the spring of 2006 and married later that year in a ceremony at an Italian castle that was  attended by a number of high-profile Scientologists, including church leader David Miscavige.

Early in the marriage, Holmes was very involved in the church, which is said to exert a cult-like control over its members, Ortega said. But her interest in building her life around Scientology teachings cooled over the next six years, Ortega said. As Holmes was raising Suri, she also was getting to know Cruise’s older children, Isabella and Connor, whose mother is Nicole Kidman. Like Holmes, Kidman was initially very involved in the organization, but the Oscar winner’s interest similarly waned before her split from Cruise in 2001.

Isabella and Connor ended up living with Cruise following the divorce, where they were home-schooled and taught that Kidman was a “suppressive person,” or an SP, someone who is viewed as hostile to Scientology, according to a 2012 investigative story by Vanity Fair.

Holmes would have become aware that Scientology’s indoctrination for Suri would begin after her sixth birthday, Ortega reported. It’s no coincidence that Holmes decided to leave Cruise in 2012, around the time Suri turned six, The Sun also reported.

Cruise admitted he “didn’t expect” Holmes to file for divorce; the divorce proceeded quickly with the ex-spouses reaching a settlement within 11 days. The Sun reported that Cruise was granted sole custody of Suri. Under the terms of the settlement, Cruise also was required to pay $400,000 a year to help with her upbringing. There’s been no reporting that Cruise didn’t fulfill this obligation.

Holmes’ decision to leave the marriage, seek primary custody of Suri and enroll their daughter in private school caused “a massive public relations disaster” for Cruise and for Scientology, according to Ortega and Vanity Fair.

Holmes’ actions “would be automatic grounds for disconnection” from the church and Scientology members “if she were married to any other Scientologist,” Vanity Fair reported. But Cruise was given the option to maintain ties with his daughter, because of his celebrity status within the church, according to Ortega and Variety Fair.

To what extent Cruise maintained a relationship with his daughter became the chief source of contention in the actor’s lawsuit against In Touch and its owner, Bauer Publishing, according to The Hollywood Reporter . In his deposition, Cruise said he never “cut Suri out of my life — whether physically, emotionally, financially or otherwise.

Cruise acknowledged that he didn’t get to see often since the divorce. He said it was difficult to arrange visits around his film shoots and Holmes’ schedule.

“Certainly what doesn’t change is the love that I have for my daughter, and that I didn’t abandon her emotionally, physically or otherwise,” Cruise said. “And in terms of how I feel about her in terms of the responsibility that I feel towards my child is not—(has) not waned in any way.”

But in his deposition, Cruise acknowledged that he only saw his daughter for 10 days between June 18 and Thanksgiving in 2012. He also faced tough questioning over the fact that he had taken a quick, 24-hour trip in the midst of a film production to fly to the U.K. from the East Coast to attend a Scientology event, but he had not found time to visit his daughter, who was living in New York City. Cruise also was pressed to acknowledge that one of the reasons that Holmes sought a divorce was to protect Suri from Scientology.

Several weeks after Cruise’s deposition became public, the actor settled his lawsuit with Bauer Publishing in December 2013, the Hollywood Reporter said. Terms of the settlement were not released, but Bauer Publishing released a joint statement with Cruise’s attorneys. The statement said that the publisher “never intended to communicate that Tom Cruise had cut off all ties and abandoned his daughter, Suri, and regret if anyone drew that inference from anything they published.”

Since then, there have been multiple reports over the years, saying that Cruise doesn’t see his daughter. The Sun’s report suggested that their visits ended around around 2013.

In his newsletter, Ortega took issue with Cruise’s alleged choice to Suri out of his life, even as he apparently enjoyed an exception in Scientology. Ortega said he could ignore rules that apply to most members, who are told to disconnect from family and friends who are non-believers,  Ortega said.

“Even if Scientology had formally declared Katie to be an enemy, Tom Cruise is not a regular Scientology member,” Ortega said. “He’s a celebrity. And in fact, the most important Scientology celebrity of all time. And as a celebrity, Tom would have the ability to ignore those rules and continue to see both Katie and Suri if he wanted to.”

“But that’s not what happened,” Ortega said. “As the years passed after that 2012 split, it became more and more obvious that Tom had completely cut Katie and Suri out of his life.”

Ortega believes that Cruise in fact chose Scientology over his own daughter, even after the actor denied doing so in 2012. Cruise did so because he’s convinced that the late Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard “is the greatest human being who ever lived” and that Hubbard’s “technology” is the only thing that will “save” this planet, Ortega said.

Cruise would therefore want to maintain his relationship with Scientology, even if it meant not having one with his daughter, Ortega said. But the journalist offered another reason that Cruise cut ties with Suri when he didn’t have to.

In Ortega’s view, Cruise is not an admirable person, not as he’s often portrayed in positive press accounts. Ortega actually used more blunt terms to describe Cruise and insisted that the media is “always too afraid” to call him out.
