About Al Makhtufa
A collision occurs between a taxi driven by Hussein and the car of Nevin, the daughter of millionaire Ratib Barakat, which leads to the taxi being destroyed, so he harms her and drags her to the police station. Ratib Barakat expresses his willingness to pay the necessary compensation, but he changes his mind when he learns that he slapped his daughter, and Hussein is left without a source of livelihood, and when his mother dies. Hussein decides to take revenge by kidnapping Nevin to a deserted place.
Directed by Sherif Yehia, Al Makhtufa leans on a strong ensemble — Ahmed Zaki, Layla Olwy, Kamal Al-Shenawy — 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 1991.
