Homepage FETIH 1453 (Türkisch)

“Konstantiniyyah will definitely be conquered one day. The commander who conquers it is a blessed commander. His soldiers are blessed soldiers.” Mohammed

Sultan Mehmet took the Ottoman throne for the second time in 1451, at the age of 19.

The first thing Sultan Mehmet, who was going to be the blessed commander heralded by Mohammed, was to strengthen his army. He made the Basilica Cannon, the biggest cannon in history, casted. He improved his navy forces. And he built the Rumeli Fortress which blocked the trade routes to Eastern Roman Empire.

On April 2, 1453, the Greek soldiers on the walls of Constantinople saw Sultan Mehmet and his magnificent army.

After a 45-day siege, Sultan Mehmet became the monarch who passed the walls which hadn’t been passed for hundreds of years and started a new age by terminating Eastern Roman Empire, and founded an empire out of the Ottoman kingdom.

The ordinary women of an ordinary neighborhood have never been this provocative! When the women each try to cheer up psychologist Eylem (Belçim Bilgin), a newcomer to the building recently dumped by her boyfriend, nothing will ever be the same!

These are the women who transport first Eylem, then themselves and, finally, perhaps every woman in the country, to the KURTULUS SON DURAK

Länge: 124 Minuten
FSK: ab 18 Jahre

Regie: Tolga Örnek
Mit: Meltem Cumbul, Timuçin Esen, Sarp Akkaya

An assault of the radical Islamic terrorist organization El-Wahid shocks people in Turkey and all over the Western world: after an explosion having ripped through a busy street in Istanbul 130 people are dead, 30 Americans and 5 British are among them. To stop a second, even more devastating massacre, the Turkish intelligence initiates an operation named “Labyrinth”. A brutal race against time begins, pushing the leading intelligence officer Fikret and his colleague Reyhan, a single mom and one of the best field operatives in the country, to their limits. While the two of them get closer very carefully, conflicts are getting more and more: not only among their own ranks but also concerning the relationship with the British Secret Service, the bloody fight against the hounded terrorists and last but not least the question: how loyal and reliable is actually the mobilised informant who has succeeded in penetrating a terrorist cell?!

“The Fatherland is under Our Wings”

Five students at the Military Academy who have always dreamed of flying:

Onur, who is hiding his dream of joining the Turkish Stars, whom everybody considers a “born pilot”, only child in the family,

Ayse, who grew up with Onur, daughter of a pilot killed in mission,

Mustafa, who wants to become a pilot perhaps more for the sake of being close to Ayse than to fly,

Tunç, who is prepared to sacrifice whatever necessary in order to fly,

And Fatih, a source of gaiety for the whole group...

They all pass the detailed examinations of the Air Hospital at Eskisehir and become the students of Kemal, the strict Fleet Commander at the Flights School in Çigli. They help each other during months of difficult, stressful and tiring training, and finally graduate from the Flight School.

The young air officers become separated by various missions after their tough military training in Konya and Ankara until the International Eagle of Anatolia Maneuvers.
