Deli Yusuf

A wealthy man named Abbas, the lord of Bolu, exploited the poor people in his region for many years. The people rose up against him under the leadership of a brave young man named Deli Yusuf. The lord asked an honest blacksmith who had worked for him for years but had never strayed from justice and truth to build a carriage for him. The old man and his son worked hard for a long time to build the carriage. However, when the cruel lord learns that the cart will be used as a weapon against the poor people who have risen up against him, things change. Despite all the difficulties, Yusuf stands with the people against the lord and begins the fight.

Directed by Atıf Yılmaz, Deli Yusuf leans on a strong ensemble — Cüneyt Arkın, Zerrin Arbaş, Kadir Savun — 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 adventure titles of 1975.
