223 วิว17/06/2024

The mission: Assassinate SS Obergruppenfuehrer Reinhard Heydrich, the diabolical murderer William L. Shirer called "the genius of the 'final solution." The code name: Operation Daybreak. Directed by Lewis Gilbert (The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker) and mostly filmed where the real-life events occurred, Operation Daybreak stars Timothy Bottoms (The Last Picture Show), Anthony Andrews (Brideshead Revisited) and Nicola Pagett (Upstairs Downstairs) as brave Czechs who defy the Reich. It sweeps you along on the 1942 mission that brought hope to the Allies. You'll see the abortive first assassination attempt and the annihilation of Lidice. And you'll see the bold last stand of seven patriots. Through it all, you'll know these seven were real people in a real time. Ordinary people by everyday standard. Heroes by every other measure.
