دعدووش

Ot'out Abdel-Samie (Hesham Ismail) is a foolish, weak-willed man who feels utterly powerless after the drunkard thug Alaa Balcona (Amr Abdel-Aziz) kidnaps his fiancée, Rouh (Nada Kokita). Seduced by ISIS propaganda promising empowerment to the downtrodden, the defense of Islam, and lavish rewards of wealth, women, and fine food, Ot'out is lured in. They take him to a desert training camp where he meets other dim-witted, gullible recruits from various Islamic nations: Mohamed Abu Sweilem (Mohamed Farouk), a man fleeing a blood feud who was mocked for being infertile; Hossam X (Karim Abu Zeid), a perpetually stoned driver whose car broke down on the road, causing him to mistakenly board an ISIS bus; and Abu Masrour the executioner (Amir Salah El-Deen) from the Comoros, who studied at Al-Azhar and came to champion God's cause, executing orders unquestioningly and training recruits in weapons handling. They meet Emir Abu Rabie (Medhat Teikha), who receives foreign funding and oversees executions and bombings, along with his right-hand man Abu Samia (Yasser El-Tobgy), who manages provisions, trades in captive women, and awards each recruit a captive bride taken from raided towns. Ot'out is assigned Mayar (Mirhan Hussein), an Egyptian journalist captured while covering conflict zones, whom they rename Hafsa. She rejects Ot'out and tries to open his eyes to the group's extremist nature, though he is too naive to understand. The recruits are trained in weapons and drugged with hashish under the guise of an "elixir of paradise." Once unconscious, they are placed in lavish rooms full of food, fruit, and beautiful women, and told this was paradise, which they can only re-enter by carrying out suicide bombings against security patrols. When Egyptian captives are brought to the camp, among them Alaa Balcona, he is handed over to his rival Ot'out to do with as he pleases, so Ot'out turns him into his personal servant. When the time comes for the recruits to deploy and plunder peaceful citizens, Ot'out—now nicknamed "Da'doush" by Emir Abu Rabie—sees the victims praying and reading the Quran. Refusing to attack them, he begins to see the organization for what it truly is. Aided by Hafsa, he is joined by Hossam X, as well as Masrour, who survived an assassination attempt by the Emir thanks to Mohamed Abu Sweilem. The group mutinies after the Emir orders Ot'out to behead Alaa Balcona. The rest of the camp joins them and blows up the Emir, while Abu Samia flees with the gold. The group boards a bus and flees into the desert, running out of fuel and getting lost, until an Egyptian Army officer (Mohamed Nagaty) finds and rescues them all. (Da'doush)
