Jan Kubiš was a humble Czech soldier who became one of WWII’s most daring heroes. In 1942, during Operation Anthropoid, he and Jozef Gabčík struck down Reinhard Heydrich, the brutal “Butcher of Prague.” Though Kubiš paid with his life, his courage proved that even a small nation could strike at Nazi tyranny. This film tells the story of his rise, his mission, and the terrible reprisals that followed.
