Darb El Jadaan

A poor young man works in horse breeding and lives in Darb Al-Jadaan neighborhood. He breeds a rare purebred Arabian horse that many rich people compete to buy, and offer him huge sums of money, but he refuses because of his strong attachment to it and his love for it. One of the gangs learns about this horse and plans to steal it, and they succeed in doing so. The young man engages in fierce battles with the gang with the help of his neighbors in Darb Al-Jadaan in an attempt to get the horse back.

Directed by Ahmed Tharwat, Darb El Jadaan leans on a strong ensemble — Eman, Yousuf Shaaban, Hussein ElSherbiny — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1992.
