It's set in Prague, 1942. The resistance is preparing Operation Anthropoid, a plot to assassinate "SS General Reinhard Heydrich, the main architect behind the Final Solution and the Reich's third in command after Hitler and Himmler."

This movie is fantastic and very accurate for the period. I highly recommend it.

It has occurred to me that the greatest hazard to life for prominent people in the 20th century was the open-topped touring car. Consider:
1914 Franz Ferdinand
1923 Pancho Villa
1942 Reinhard Heydrich
1963 John F. Kennedy
1981 Pope John Paul (survived)

All of them shot in open touring cars. The influence of open touring cars on history needs to be studied.
