Storyline
During one of his campaigns, Malkoçoğlu Ali Bey was taken prisoner by Homer and spent years in a dungeon, enduring torture. He eventually escapes. Separated from his beloved wife and his unknown son Polat, he continues his life as a cavalry leader on horseback. His son's desire to become a cavalryman brings together the father and son, who do not know each other. They are given a mission: to prevent Cem Sultan, the son of Fatih Sultan Mehmet and the blood brother of Malkoçoğlu Ali Bey, from falling into the hands of the Venetians. This film tells the story of Malkoçoğlu Ali Bey, the son of the famous raider Malkoçoğlu Bali Bey, who was educated at the Enderun-ı Hümayün, the palace university founded by Fatih Sultan Mehmed Han. He served as the governor of Sofia and was martyred in the Battle of Çaldıran in 1514.
