An example of a political thriller-Valkyrie

Valkyrie

Valkyrie is a film about a group of German soldiers who attempt to overthrow the Nazi leadership and kill Adolf Hitler. This political thriller meets the political thriller conventions as Tom Cruise's character attempts to stop Hitler ruling Germany. Also it meets the conventions as innocent people are drawn into the storyline, in this case Tom Cruise's characters wife and children are drawn into the story line even though they have done nothing wrong. Valkyrie is set in Germany during the second world war and shows that not all of the Germans supported Hitler. Also the helper character is very key in this film as this is who supplies Tom Cruise's character with all of the bombs to attempt to kill Hitler, this is also meets the conventions of a political thriller.
