The men were thrown from a military truck after a side panel came loose when the driver took a sharp turn. They suffered cuts and bruises and one was kept overnight in hospital for observation.
A lawyer seeking compensation for the actors said: "Those responsible on the set displayed inhuman indifference in playing with the health and the lives of the extras."
Cruise stars as German anti-Hitler plotter Col. Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg in the film, which has been slammed as "propaganda for Scientology" by the country's Protestant church.
A spokesman for United Artists said: "The injuries were extremely minor. Only nine extras were injured (not 11 as had been previously reported). The truck was going 15 miles-per-hour." He added that Cruise had been away from the set when the incident occurred.
