Narrative:
At takeoff; the auto throttles did not engage. We continued the takeoff with manual thrust control. During climb; the captain first lost his flight director; followed by the loss of the heading indicator. At this point; I became the pilot flying since my instruments were working properly. After we switched control of the aircraft; he lost his altitude chevron and his airspeed bug parked itself at 160 knots; unable to change it manually. The captain slaved his instruments to mine so he could have sa [situational awareness]. I took care of flying and ATC while the captain and relief pilot worked the problem and spoke with dispatch and maintenance. After leveling off at FL350; we also discover that the left and center autopilot were inoperative and after checking the status page; we discovered that we were losing hydraulic fluid on the right system. We returned to ZZZ [urgently] and executed an overweight landing. After being cleared by fire personnel; we returned to gate with no further incident.
