Description: Atçalı Kel Mehmet is a 2017 film set during the reign of Ottoman Sultan II. Mahmud. The story revolves around Atçalı Kel Mehmet Efe, a legendary figure and one of the first heroes of the Aegean region. Known for his Robin Hood-like actions, he takes from the wealthy to help the poor, earning him the title of a traitor among the influential aghas, lords, and governors whose interests he threatens. Faced with a death warrant, Atçalı has only two options: flee or face death. Gökhan Keser portrays this iconic folk hero on the silver screen, bringing the tale to life.
In another narrative, Beca, a college student, strikes a deal to reinstate her acapella group, the Bellas, by winning the Acapella World Championship. Meanwhile, freshman Emily Junk aspires to follow her mother’s legacy and join the Bellas. At her college orientation, she watches a performance by the Treblemakers, led by Beca’s boyfriend, Jesse Swanson. The Bellas face stiff competition from Das Sound Machine (DSM), a German group that has replaced them on their victory tour and is favored to win the Worlds. Beca also juggles her internship at a recording studio, a secret known only to Jesse and later discovered by Amy.
Unable to hold auditions due to suspension, the Bellas are impressed when Emily approaches them directly and performs her original song “Flashlight,” earning her a spot in the group. The Bellas encounter DSM at a car show, where the latter mocks them. Both groups later participate in an exclusive riff-off alongside the Treblemakers, the Tone Hangers, and even the Green Bay Packers.
The story intertwines themes of justice, rivalry, and ambition, blending historical heroism with modern-day challenges.
