Tom Cruise says 'Valkyrie' story was a challenge
Tom Cruise says he felt a huge burden of responsibility to history in bringing the story of one of Germany's few anti-Nazi heroes to the screen.
In "Valkyrie," Cruise plays Col. Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg — the aristocratic army officer who was among those executed after a failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944.
"I think it's the most challenging film I've ever made," Cruise said at a news conference Tuesday in Berlin before the movie's European premiere.
"The whole time, we carried a huge burden of the responsibility of the history," he said.
He added that he and the crew wanted "to represent the spirit of the resistance and history in the most accurate way and also ... deliver a piece of entertainment."
The movie was shot in Berlin in 2007.
