Several extras were injured when they fell out of a truck during the filming of “Valkyrie,” which stars Tom Cruise as Germany’s most famous anti-Hitler plotter.

The accident happened Sunday evening while scenes were being shot around the Finance Ministry in Berlin, which was once the Nazis’ aviation ministry.

United Artists said 10 extras briefly required medical attention after falling off the truck, which the studio said was traveling at less than 10 mph when wooden slats gave way, sending the extras off the side.

Police said a bolt on a side panel of the truck apparently came loose as the vehicle turned a corner.

United Artists said the movie’s main production unit, which includes director Bryan Singer and Cruise, wasn’t filming at the time of the accident -- and “it is not expected to have any impact on the production schedule.”
