Anthropoid is a historical war thriller film that depicts the true story of Operation Anthropoid, which was a top-secret mission carried out by Czech soldiers during World War II. Here are some more plot details:
The film is set in 1941 when Czechoslovakia is occupied by Nazi Germany. Jozef Gab?ík (played by Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubiš (played by Jamie Dornan), two Czech soldiers trained by the British Special Operations Executive, are parachuted into their homeland. Their mission is to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich (played by Detlef Bothe), one of the highest-ranking Nazi officers and the main architect of the Holocaust.
Gab?ík and Kubiš join forces with a group of Czech resistance fighters led by Uncle Hajský (played by Toby Jones) and Josef Bublík (played by Alena Mihulová). Together, they plan and execute their audacious plot.
To carry out the assassination, the team meticulously prepares, gathering information, acquiring weapons, and studying Heydrich's patterns. They become aware of his frequent visits to a local castle, and they finalize their plan to attack him during his commute.
On May 27, 1942, Gab?ík and Kubiš ambush Heydrich's car using an improvised grenade. However, due to a manufacturing defect, the grenade fails to explode, failing to kill Heydrich instantly. The soldiers engage in a fierce gun battle with Heydrich's entourage but are eventually forced to flee.
Heydrich, although seriously wounded, survives initially but dies several days later due to an infection from the injuries sustained during the ambush. In retaliation for the assassination, the Nazis launch a massive manhunt, searching every corner of Czechoslovakia to find the perpetrators.
The remaining resistance fighters, including Gab?ík and Kubiš, hide in a church in Prague, knowing that the Nazis will eventually find them. The Nazis surround them in a final siege, resulting in a dramatic and intense standoff.
Facing overwhelming odds and certain death, Gab?ík and Kubiš fight to the last breath, ultimately choosing to take their own lives rather than fall into the hands of the Nazis. The film ends with the Nazis brutalizing and murdering the remaining resistance fighters.
Anthropoid not only portrays the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice of Gab?ík, Kubiš, and the Czech resistance, but it also addresses the moral complexities and devastating consequences of their mission, as well as the brutal response of the Nazis.
