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.
