Escape (1988 Film)
''Escape'' () is a 1991 Egyptian film directed by Atef El-Tayeb. It stars Ahmed Zaki. ''The Escape'' is one of the iconic films of the Egyptian cinema in the 1990s. Description The movie begins with an artistic suggestion that the authority is not always the policeman who chases the criminal, but sometimes it becomes the criminal who tries to evade the punishment of the police.

There may be earlier or more daring films, but there is no doubt that "Escape" is the most honest. Falconer Muntaser Abdel Ghaffar Al-Badri (Ahmed Zaki) is a young man from the village of Al-Haje ...
