Flight 404 is an Egyptian film that has many fans among Arab audiences, but it is unlikely to be a great film among Iranian viewers. In terms of film-making techniques, this movie for Iranians is at the same level as the soaps.
From the point of view of the script, there are no knots or challenges in the film.
The film is about Ghada (the first role of the film), a woman with a sinful background who is on the threshold of the Hajj journey, but problems arise for her that prevent her journey and force her to meet the people she met in her previous life. He had a relationship and became more disappointed with what he had lived. The turning point of the screenplay is Ghadeh's resistance to return to the previous path despite all the temptations and difficulties and his loyalty to his decision for a clean and new path in his life.
The main focus of the story is facing the problems of life and specifically providing money for the operation of Mother Ghada, which is a problem for people living in Iran that we face every day and every hour, and from this point of view, it is not attractive for them.
Some movie critics considered this film as a documentary that expresses the problems of not only Egyptian women but also men, and this is a strong point for this film.
This is despite the fact that the drama cinema in this movie is much darker and biting. Films that express social harm more clearly and bitingly. " I'm Taraneh, 15", "His! Girls Don't Scream", "Leila", "Circle", "The Day I Became a Woman" and... are among these films.
