Anthropoid

Anthropoidis based on the extraordinary true story of 'Operation Anthropoid,' the code name for the Czechoslovakian operatives’ mission to assassinate SS officer Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich, 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. The film follows two soldiers from the Czechoslovakian army-in-exile, Josef Gabčík (Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubiš (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 Heydrich, an operation that would change the face of Europe forever.

About Reinhard Heydrich

  • Served 20 years in the Nazi-German army
  • Nicknamed "The Butcher of Prague"
  • Appointed by Adolf Hitler to act as Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, what is now Czech Republic
  • Regarded as possibly the darkest, most feared member of the Nazi Elite
  • Responsible for about 2 million deaths during the Holocaust

Product Description

Based on the extraordinary true story of Operation Anthropoid, this powerful drama stars Cillian Murphy (The Dark Knight) and Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey) as two Czechoslovakian soldiers sent to Prague for a deadly mission: to kill Hitler's third in command, the main architect behind the Final Solution, Reinhard Heydrich. Outmanned and facing impossible odds, the two men lead a group of Czech rebels toward a near-impossible mission that may change the course of history forever. Also starring Toby Jones (Infamous), Anthropoid is an intense, thought-provoking thriller.

Close to accurate, but missing major parts of the story.

Close to accurate, but missing major parts of the story.
I recently took a guided tour of this church. It was one on one, early in the day and after tourist season. My guide was good, but the man at the desk was the one who conducts the tour for the many school kids that visit. He's the resident expert and instructor. I was blessed to have an extended tour with additional views and information. He told how the group for the mission "Anthropoid" was developed and arrived in Prague. The only automatic weapon they had was the assassination machine gun (which failed to fire), so the defensive weapons were pistols. There were few German casualties. The gun battle at the end was dramatized for the movie. It is not clear in the film, so it's not an error, but Heydrich was killed not by shots fired, but by vehicle shrapnel from the bomb. Of the three or four versions of this film Czech critics all seem to agree they are all fairly accurate save those two points. I'm told the original early one in black and white is the most accurate, but no longer available. I decided to see this film again after many, many years following this trip. My only complaint is the film doesn't develop the story form the inception and planning. That is critical I believe. See the review of "Conspiracy" in addition to this. I believe viewers will get more from this film by knowing who and what Heydrich was.
