The Assassination (Original Czech title: Atentát) is a 1964 Czech black-and-white war drama directed by Jirí Sequens. The story depicts the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich in 1942 which was perpetrated by parachutists from the group ANTHROPOID sent from England. This is considered a cult classic film for those interested in war history.
