!! This movie contains examples of:

* ArtisticLicenceHistory:
** While the climaxes of ''Atentát'' (1964), ''Operation Daybreak'' (1975) and ''Anthropoid'' (2016) were filmed at the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ss._Cyril_and_Methodius_Cathedral Orthodox church]] where the LastStand of Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš happened, the climax of ''[=HHhH=]'' has been filmed at a different church, and a Catholic one at that.
** The village of Lidice wasn't just burned down by the Germans as reprisals for the death of Heydrich like it is in the film. That village was ''razed to the ground'', erased from existence. Roads leading to it were diverted, the ground was levelled and the cemetery was emptied of its dead and looted.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Every resistance member who doesn't get killed by Germans in the aftermath of the attack dies with either a CyanidePill or a [[BoomHeadshot self-shot bullet in the head]].
* {{Biopic}}: Starts like one about Heydrich's life up until he is appointed Reichsprotektor of Bohemia-Moravia mid-way through the movie, then the movie focuses on the Czechoslovak resistants. Then again as Heydrich is dying.
* BritishNazis: Australian Jason Clarke as Reinhard Heydrich, and British actors Rosamund Pike and Stephen Graham as Lina Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler respectively.
* CoffinContraband: How Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík are supposed to be smuggled out of Prague after the assassination. Unfortunately, they are sold out by a {{Turncoat}} and the church they're hiding in is quickly besieged.
* DownerEnding: Heydrich dies, but so do pretty much every Czechoslovak character involved in the operation bar [[spoiler:Anna]]. And about 5000 Czech people were murdered in reprisals, with the village of Lidice practically wiped from the map most notably. And it was all TruthInTelevision.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Heydrich, who goes from a young officer who gets fired from the German navy because of a sex scandal to one of the brains behind the industrial murder machine that was UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust.
** Same about Heinrich Himmler, who goes from chicken breeder to the head of the SS.
* TheGhost: UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler is mentioned a lot, and a speech of his is heard over the film's opening scene, but he doesn't show up in person.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Reinhard Heydrich, obviously. Then also a lot of people gravitating around the events, from Heydrich's wife Lina to Heinrich Himmler and the Czechoslovak resistants who carried out the attack, Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík most notably. Unlike ''Film/{{Anthropoid}}'' however, a number of resistants' names are fictional outside of Kubiš and Gabčík.
* HowWeGotHere: The film opens on the day of the attack on Heydrich, 27 May 1942. Then it cuts right at the moment Heydrich's car is attacked and we're back in 1929 to follow Heydrich's life.
* IfWeGetThroughThis: Kubiš and Gabčík dream to settle in America, provided they escape the Germans after the attack.
* IndustrializedEvil: Heydrich creates the Einsatzgruppen in 1941 in order to "cleanse" Eastern Europe of its Jews in the wake of the Wehrmacht, effectively industrializing murder. Then he proposes plans for the FinalSolution at the infamous Wannsee conference.
* KillEmAll: Nearly every member of the Czech resistance involved in the plot dies in the aftermath of Heydrich's assassination. A ForegoneConclusion, given that the film is about historical events.
* LastStand: After the Germans discover the church where they're hiding, the last seven plotters hold off a vastly larger, vastly better-equipped German force for quite a while (in RealLife they did so for six hours), killing a number of them in the process. Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš end up the last two left alive, and they decide to [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled shoot themselves in the head]].
* MenDontCry: What Lina tells to Heydrich when he's desperate after being fired from the navy because of a sex scandal.
* NaziProtagonist: Obviously the case for the parts that focus on Heydrich's life. Most notably, it was his wife Lina who "converted" him to national-socialism.
* ThePeepingTom: Heydrich spies on a general's weakness for prostitutes so he can use it to blackmail him.
* ThePurge: Heydrich is seen participating in the Night of the Long Knives in June 1934, in which UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler had several leaders of the Sturmabteilung (SA, the Nazi party's brown-shirted core enforcers and militants) killed as [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness they were no longer needed]] and represented a potential threat to his power.
* RedBaron: Heinrich Himmler nicknames Heydrich "The Man with the Iron Heart" (which functions as a TitleDrop in the countries where the film has been released with that title).
* LaResistance: Operation Anthropoid aimed at "waking up" the Czech resistance to Nazi Germany.
* SceneryPorn: The snowy mountains where Kubiš Gabčík are parachuted.
* ScreamingBirth: Lina screams in pain while giving birth.
* StateSec: Heydrich proves himself ''very'' efficient at gathering intel and cleansing opposition to the nazi regime once he joins the SS and climbs the ranks in it in the early 1930s.
* ThoseWackyNazis: The movie naturally averts the trope since it's based on history, but there's still a little shade of it when Himmler makes a Nazi salute and grins out of respect for a (in his eyes) irreplaceable national-socialist peer as Heydrich passes away.
* TitleDrop: At one point, Himmler is talking with Lina and mentions the nickname Hitler gave to Heydrich, "The Man with the Iron Heart", which is [[ForeignLanguageTitle the movie's title in some countries (US included)]].
* WickedCultured: As in real life, Heydrich practices fencing and plays violin.
