Synopsis

In 1942, at the height of the Third Reich, the Czech resistance operating in London devised what would become one of the most ambitious military operations of World War II: Operation Anthropoid. The mission involved sending two young recruits to Prague with the objective of assassinating Reinhard Heydrich, a high-ranking Nazi official who served as head of the Reich Security Main Office, the Gestapo, and was a central architect of the Final Solution.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.1× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
