Overview
The film tells the story of Lieutenant Kemal and his four friends who participated in the Cyprus Peace Operation on a special mission. Kemal goes to Cyprus on a secret mission, where he meets with the mujahideen. First, he must find Osman, Reşit, Ahmet, and Emin. However, he cannot find them among the mujahideen because they are all in prison. To rescue them from prison, he somehow gets himself imprisoned as well. After enduring all the torture, he reunites with his friends. The team later escapes from prison and sets out to carry out their mission. Their objective is to destroy the radar that provides intelligence to the Greeks and tracks all Turkish military vehicles.
