Hitler survived as he left 13 minutes before the explosion

Elser was arrested and executed in 1945

Is this the guy Tom Cruise plays in the Valkyrie movie?

No, Tom Cruise plays Claus von Stauffenberg in that movie.

If you're interested in a movie about Georg Elser's assassination attempt, I recommend the German movie 13 Minutes (2015) (German: Elser – Er hätte die Welt verändert).
