The Fifth Castle, is a 1979 Syrian movie, directed by Bilal Al Sabouni, and starring Abd Elfatah Almozyen, Osama Khalky, Asaad Fedda. with a runtime of 106 minutes.
The Fifth Castle is a Syrian historical drama set in the early 1950s, when authoritarian rule cast a long shadow over political life. After a simple misunderstanding lands an ordinary man in a political prison, he finds himself sharing a cell with four dissidents — Salama, Mustafa, Hussein, and Youssef — each bearing their own conviction against the dictatorship. What unfolds is an intellectually charged drama of ideas, conscience, and survival, as the men wrestle with questions of justice, resistance, and identity in a space where the mind's freedom becomes the last remaining liberty. A compelling portrait of courage under oppression in the Arab world.
