Synopsis

The film tells the story of Şah's revenge on Ökkeş Ağa and his son Ömer. Ökkeş Ağa assigns his man Gaffar to kill Hamza, who married the girl he loved, and his family. Gaffar cannot bring himself to kill Hamza's young son. He names him Şah and raises him in a cave like a warrior. Years later, when Ömer shoots Ali, the son of the village headman who married the girl he loved, at his wedding, the villagers inform Şah. Şah, who is Ali's friend, swears to kill Ökkeş Ağa and Ömer. Ömer, unaware that he is sealing his own fate, kills Ali's widow and her father after Ali.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
