The Lorry, is a 1985 Egyptian movie, directed by صلاح سري, and starring Madiha Kamel, Samir Ghanem, Gamil Ratib. with a runtime of 102 minutes.
The Lorry is an Egyptian dark comedy that turns on class prejudice and spectacularly bad luck. Faidy refuses to let his daughter Salwa marry the struggling Samir, steering her instead toward the affluent and seemingly respectable Adel. The tables turn when Samir wins the lottery — but the real shock comes when Adel's true nature is revealed: he is conducting mummification experiments and has coldly earmarked both Salwa and her father as subjects. The film blends social comedy with macabre thriller elements, using its outlandish premise to skewer the folly of judging worth purely by wealth — and the danger of trusting appearances over character.
