Masjoon Transit (Prisoner In Transit)

Ali is a very talented locksmith who dreams of leaving Egypt and starting a new life in Italy. To finance his move, he gets involved in a life of crime with Nabil, using his talents in cracking safes. During what he thought would be their last heist (and he could finally leave the country) things go terribly wrong and he ends up in prison, where he is attacked repeatedly. A government agent, knowing Ali's unique skills, offers him a way out of jail in exchange for becoming a covert agent. After months of training, Ali is given his first assignment which involves infiltrating a ship, assassinating an official, and acquiring what is in the safe. Is this the patriotic road to freedom or is it just another crime? Can one mistake fix another? Starring Ahmed Ezz, Nour El Sharif, Salah Abdallah, and Iman El Assi.
