The Ruthless

The film follows three brothers in Alexandria, with Hammam leading a drug trafficking operation disguised as a transport office. Khamis, the younger brother, is drawn into the narcotics trade, while their sister Fatima opposes their illegal activities and works at a clothing shop.

Fatima is caught in a love relationship with Mansour, a friend of Khamis, who has been absent from their lives for years. This tension between family loyalty and personal morals drives the narrative, highlighting the impact of crime on family relationships. The film's exploration of these themes within the action genre makes it a notable entry in 1990s Egyptian cinema.
