The Deer (Persian: گوزنها, romanized: Gavaznhā) is a 1974 Iranian drama film directed by Masoud Kimiai.

Although they are both happy to find each other after so many years, Ghodrat is completely shocked to see Rasool, once the ruler of the high school yards and neighbourhoods, an addict.

Ghodrat explains that he has become a professional thief and Rasool tells a story of how he had become a heroin addict after having served only two months in a jail for minor offenses.

Ghodrat wants to revive Rasool's pride by reminding him of who he was long ago and how being the role model that he was helped him not to fall into drug or alcohol addiction during all those years.

The discussion becomes so heated and emotional that the two start punching the wall in a show of remaining physical and mental strength.

When Ghodrat tries to talk him out of his current state of mind, Rasool responds angrily by saying that being a thief is no better than being a drug addict.

Ghodrat also witnesses how deeply rooted poverty and a lack of basic education affect the daily life of every neighbour in the area.

Rasool arrives home to discover the escalating situation, fearing Ghodrat's death at the hands of the large police force.

After a few minutes, the building comes under heavy fire, but Rasool stays with Ghodrat when a final police raid results in both men being killed by an explosion.
