About Kanca
Major Şahin and Captain Hasan, who fought against the Greeks in Cyprus, are captured by enemy soldiers. After enduring prolonged torture, the two soldiers are handed over to Turkey under an agreement. However, having suffered severe trauma from the torture they endured, the two soldiers struggle to continue living. Meanwhile, Major Şahin's son is killed. Şahin, taking his comrade Hasan with him, sets out to track down his son's killers.
Directed by Melih Gülgen, Kanca leans on a strong ensemble — Cüneyt Arkın, Aytekin Akkaya, Burak Gülgen — 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 1986.
