Assassination

Set in the autumn of 1941, Assassination depicts the oppressive regime of Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich in occupied Bohemia and Moravia. The film follows a group of trained paratroopers from the government-in-exile as they undertake a dangerous mission to eliminate Heydrich.

The narrative centers on Lt. Král and his team as they ambush Heydrich's vehicle in Prague's Libeň district. Their initial success results in a mortally wounded Heydrich, but it also leads to brutal Nazi reprisals, including mass executions and a relentless manhunt for the operatives involved.

With its focus on true events, Assassination offers a deep dive into the Czech resistance during a dark chapter in history. The film features a cast including Radoslav Brzobohatý, Rudolf Jelínek, and Ladislav Mrkvička, among others, bringing the intensity of this historical drama to life.
