The Blazing Sun listenⓘ (Arabic: صراع في الوادي, Ṣira‘ Fī al-Wādī) is a 1954 Egyptian romance drama film directed by Youssef Chahine and written by Helmy Halim and Ali El Zorkani.

Taher Pasha, a wealthy land owner who runs a competing sugar cane production facility, feels threatened by the villager's newfound prosperity.

Along with his nephew, Riad, the Pasha floods the peasant's sugar cane crops in order to protect his own wealth.

After the peasant crops are destroyed, the village Sheikh is the only person to suspect that the Pasha is responsible.

Saber is executed, and Ahmed, fearing his death, hides in an ancient temple in the desert with the help of Amal.
