Synopsis
Anthropoid is based on the extraordinary true story of the 1942 WWII operation to assassinate Nazi commanding officer Reinhard Heydrich. Nicknamed “the butcher of Prague,” Heydrich was the Reich’s third in command after Hitler and Himmler; the main architect behind the final solution and the leader of Nazi forces in Czechoslovakia.
Starring Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders) and Jamie Dornan (The Fall, Fifty Shades of Grey), and directed by Sean Ellis (Metro Manila), Anthropoid is a gripping and gruelling account of the bravery and sacrifice of Czechoslovakian soldiers that changed history forever.
