Watch Jamie Dornan Fight Nazis In The New Anthropoid Trailer

Jamie Dornan leaves behind his 50 Shades of Grey accessories and heads to 1940s Prague for his latest movie, Anthropoid, about a real-life plot to assassinate a Nazi leader.

Dornan plays Jan Kubis, one of two Czech resistance fighters who assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, one of the architects of the Holocaust. He stars alongside Cillian Murphy as Josef Gabčík, and the film was directed by Sean Ellis. Following the assassination in 1942, the Germans destroyed the Czech village of Lidice and murdered most of its inhabitants.

“These were just normal guys who were fighting for something they fiercely believed in,” Dornan said about Kubis and Gabčík press conference last year. “[Kubis is] a man with a mission to carry out, and it’s a mission for the right reasons… This is murder in a sense, but it’s for a greater good.”

Anthropoid hits theaters August 12.
