Alexandria, Egypt. 1940. Three young Egyptians come to the aid of an Egyptian woman who is being attacked by three British soldiers. One of the soldiers, the nephew of the British military governor of Alexandria, is arrested and thrown in jail. When the governor's demands to have his nephew released fail, the British military surround the police station and begin an all our assault. It's up to one man, General Youssef al-Masrito, to defend his prison and protect his people, with one simple rule: No Surrender!
