Plot
'Anthropoid' is based on the extraordinary true story of Operation Anthropoid, a mission of the Second World War to assassinate SS General Reinhard Heydrich, the third in command after Hitler and Himmler. Heydrich was the chief intellectual architect of the Final Solution and the leader of the occupying forces in Czechoslovakia, whose reign of terror caused the self-exile of Czech soldiers and Slovaks (Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan) to uncover a mission top secret that could change the face of Europe forever. The film is directed by British Sean Ellis, author of works such as 'Cashback' and 'Metro Manila'. The actor Toby Jones also appears in a secondary role.

Petschek Palace was a bank that was converted to Gestapo headquarters during the war. Many people of the Czech resistance were tortured there and today the basement remains a museum to their memory. The torture scene of Ata Moravec was filmed in the same basement room where it actually took place.
Repeated role
Detlef Bothe reprised his role of Reinhard Heydrich, whom he previously portrayed in 'Lidice' (2011).
The meaning of "anthropoid"
