The Worthy is a narrative film that describes what will happen in a post-apocalyptic future where political conflicts go out of hand.

Shoaib listens to the man's advice and takes his two children Eissa and Maryam to seek shelter.

Most of the population dies out of fear and hunger in the upcoming years; however Shoaib and his family along with seven others find shelter with clean water in an abandoned airplane factory.

She explains this was a test to find people to join their group (alif-yaa) who are going to build civilization back up and tells him to meet them in Medina before knocking him unconscious.

The movie was released in theaters on 23 February 2017, but the world premiere was held at Vue Cinemas in Leicester Square in London, UK.

The Worthy has been a largely viewed movie, first because of its extensive media coverage, but also because the synopsis was a one of a kind for the region.

The local newspaper The National gave it a 3.5 out of 5, saying : “The film rattles along nicely towards its inventive final stand-off, which once again makes the most of the relatively limited resources through ingenious use of some chains, an aeroplane wing and basic physics.”[2] And AlloCiné, a French website where members rate movies and leave comments, gave it an overall rating of 2.5 out of 5.

One of the website users said “No superhero, no impressive combat scenes (even though some are violent), here it is real, with the struggle of a chief thorn between the survival of his own people and the appearance of two strangers asking for protection in this crazy world; it‘s a good post-apocalyptic movie” while another one said “It is full of very dramatic and amateur performances, with a lot of moments that doesn’t make sense and too far from reality.”[3]
