Starring Devrim Evin, İbrahim Çelikkol and Dilek Serbest, the film is based on events surrounding the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II.
Murad II, suffocated by the political hostility of his margraves and viziers, relinquished the throne due to the impact of his deep grief caused by his beloved son Mohamed's death and enthroned Mehmet.
Grand Vizier Halil Pasha, who had a great influence on the Janissaries and the state, was dissatisfied because of this situation.
He made Sultan Murat inherit the throne again in anticipation of the possibility of crusaders occupying Ottoman territories by taking advantage of Mehmet.
At the outset, Mehmet decides that he should live in peace with contiguous countries until he makes the preparations for his campaign.
Meanwhile, the Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos thinks that Sultan Mehmet is inexperienced and lacking in foresight.
Constantine's main intention is to make Sultan Mehmet lose his reputation by capitulating to his demands.
After the military expedition, on the return journey, a group of janissaries confront the state tent and ask for payment.
In addition to this, another co-producer commented to Ali Eyuboglu that 4 million ticket will be afford expenses for the film.
[12] Prior to its release, the film caused outrage in Greece, with many accusing it of being racist and obscuring historical facts,[13] while the Greek Proto Thema newspaper called it "a conquest propaganda by the Turks".
[16] Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who watched a special advance screening, liked the film very much.
[18] The Ottoman Empire also engaged in a series of conquests in the previous decade, subjugating the Serbian Despotate and defeating Hungary at the Battle of Varna.
Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine XI rejected Ottoman overtures to surrender, fearing a massacre by Turkish forces.
