The film tells the story of two fugitives and the retired police commissioner who pursues them. A vehicle used to transport a group of prisoners is involved in a traffic accident. Two of the prisoners, Blind Mustafa and Condemned Hasan, manage to escape. Bad weather conditions and the wooded terrain make it impossible to find the prisoners. However, retired police commissioner Hüseyin, who has not found what he expected from life, sets out in pursuit of the prisoners. His goal is to prove himself to his son by bringing the prisoners to justice. Hüseyin catches up with the prisoners deep in the forest. However, the roads are closed due to heavy snow, which turns the situation in the prisoners' favor.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
