About Kader Arkadaşı
The film is about the friendship between two friends who meet in prison. Years ago, Yusuf accidentally committed murder. After serving his sentence, he is released from prison. However, Kazım, the brother of the man he killed, is out to get revenge on Yusuf. Kazım, the leader of a drug trafficking gang, attempts to kill Yusuf in a staged accident. However, Yusuf narrowly escapes and takes refuge at his close friend Hasan's farm. During his stay at the farm, a romantic connection develops between Yusuf and Hasan's daughter, Aysel. Meanwhile, the gang, realizing Yusuf is still alive, resumes their pursuit.
Directed by Yılmaz Atadeniz, Kader Arkadaşı leans on a strong ensemble — Cüneyt Arkın, Deniz Akbulut, Levent Çakır — 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 1981.
