Plot summary
Two historical incidents that deepened the friendship between Japan and Turkey are connected in this story of friendship and compassion: In the night of 16 September 1890 the Turkish frigate Ertuğrul is caught up in a typhoon and sinks off the Japanese coast. Risking their own lives, local villagers are able to rescue 69 Turkish sailors. Although being very poor and having hardly to eat, the villagers share what little they have with strangers from a country 9,000 kilometers away. 95 years later, during the Iran-Iraq War, more than 300 Japanese are stranded in Tehran. In the morning of 19 March 1985 a Turkish Airlines aircraft takes off for Tehran to evacuate the Japanese. But the remaining Turks at Tehran Mehrabad Airport still need to be convinced that they won't be able to board their own country's rescue flight.

Good performances from Shiori Kutsuna and Kenan Ece
The Crescent and The Sun
It's an amazing movie, very effective and dramatic. Technical details such as Sounds, Visuals, Cinematography, Makeups, Costume Design, Art Direction and Set Decoration are also good. Specially Art Direction and Set Decoration was really good. The Crescent and The Sun symbol was very touching. I don't remember the scores, I watched years ago but as I remember, they were quite good too.
I like Japanese people they're so hardworking and respective people, after 125 years I'm happy to see our side also helped them. Maybe not much as they did, but we tried our best. After 20th Century no man ever come like Turgut Özal to Turkey as a leader. The man was so brilliant, he was solving all the problems. I don't think we even deserve that kind of leader. So respect that man, Turgut Özal. He is the reason of our help. He was assassinated I think, some say poisoned. Because you just can't stand as a good man in Turkey, sadly.
