Black Boy

The Mongols stood at the gates of Anatolia, the peaceful homeland of the Turks. The Turkish-Mongolian war is about to break out. The only way to protect against the Mongol invasion, which set the whole world on fire, is to create unity among the Turkic states. The Golden Horde also wants to join this union. The only way to realize this union is for Çise Hatun to go to the Golden Horde as a bride. The Mongols, led by Camoka, are determined to destroy Çise Hatun in order to prevent this union. Camoka's job is not so easy. In front of him is the legendary hero Karaoğlan. The journey full of excitement and danger, starting from Anatolia and extending through the Caucasus mountains, leads to a fierce war between three giant armies of tens of thousands of people. The fate of Anatolia is in the hands of Karaoğlan. The elusive beauty Bayırgülü, Asia's best sword-wielding man Baybora, the great warrior Balaban and Karaoğlan's mentor Çalık are the fateful partners of this great epic.

Directed by Kudret Sabancı, Black Boy leans on a strong ensemble — Volkan Keskin, Müge Boz, Hasan Yalnızoğlu — 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 action titles of 2013.
