About the Anthropoid 💬

• Based on the true story.

ANTHROPOID is an intense, thought-provoking thriller.

• Resistance Has a Code Name.

ANTHROPOID is based on the extraordinary true story of ''Operation Anthropoid,'' the code name for the Czechoslovakian operatives' mission to assassinate SS officer Reinhard Heydrich.

Operation Anthropoid: [Planned: December 1941 - May 1942 | Date: 27 May 1942]

SS General Reinhard Heydrich (Detlef Bothe), the main architect behind the Final Solution, was the Reich's third in command behind Hitler and Himmler and the leader of Nazi forces in Czechoslovakia. Appointed Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Heydrich, dubbed ''The Butcher of Prague,'' was one of Hitler's most savage and influential Nazi leaders. The film follows two soldiers from the Czechoslovakian army-in-exile, Josef Gabcík (Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubis (Jamie Dornan), who are parachuted into their occupied homeland in December 1941. With limited intelligence and little equipment in a city under lockdown, they must find a way to assassinate SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, an operation that would change the face of Europe forever.

Sean Ellis' ANTHROPOID recreates one of World War II's great feats of heroism and sacrifice. ''I wanted to discover what it was like to be Jan Kubiš and Josef Gabčík, to know what it would have felt like to be confronted with the ultimate act of resistance,'' Ellis explains.
