Add to a movie listThe Masked Gang: Iraq (Turkish: Maskeli Beşler: Irak) is a 2007 Turkish comedy film, directed by Murat Aslan, about an incompetent gang of criminals attempting to capture an oil installation in northern Iraq in order divert the oil to Turkey. The film, which went on general release across Turkey on January 12, 2007 (2007-01-12), was the third highest-grossing Turkish film of 2007. It is a sequel to The Masked Gang (2005) and was followed by The Masked Gang: Cyprus (2008).
Synopsis
In this sequel, the clumsiest comedy heroes of Turkish Cinema are convinced firmly that the rights of Turkey upon the oil supplies of the north Iraq are being ignored. Without further ado, they decide to end this unfairness. The idiotic group succeeds in bringing an Iraqi oil plant under American guard into its control. Guided by their leader Bahattin (Peker Acikalin), the gang members Bubbly Tezcan (Safak Sezer), Private Kamil (Cengiz Kucukayvaz), Clumsy Zeki (Melih Ekener) and Redneck Recep (Atilla Sarihan), manage to take the American soldiers as their hostages, and redirect the pipelines to Turkey. The good mannered gang, however, has difficulties in understanding, why this “clearly legal action” not only captures the attention of the local authorities, but also brings about a strong international crisis between Turkey and the USA. And the fact that Tezcan falls in love with the American lieutenant Angel, makes the situation by far more complicated.Actors

After an unsuccessful bank robbery, as well as the failure of a spontaneous ambush upon the oil plant in Iraq, the clumsiest comedy heroes of Turkish Cinema finally decide to retire from their small criminal lives. However, the dignified career as exterminator suffers many infamous perils, as the lovable idiots inhale more insecticide than the insects themselves. Thus the doctor prescribes a vacation at the seaside. But then there is Rocky Selim, a wicked crook from the underworld, disguised as an honorable businessman, who is planning a perfect casino robbery in North Cyprus. His plan is flawless. Yet, he is desperately in need of a criminal gang, to carry out his plan. As a fortunate coincidence, the paths of the masked gang overlap with Rocky Selim, who hires them instantly. As usual, with no preparations at all, overzealous and bustling, the masked gang follows the call of the justice a bit too spontaneously, and starts implementing the plans of Rocky Selim. Surely, with the methods of complete madmen.

The mayor recruits a crazy electrician called Emin (Yılmaz Erdoğan) and some of his office staff to help him to set up a television transmitter on the highest position of the mountain.

However, Ateş finds out about this and threatens Tayfun that he will have to pay for it. Frightened, Tayfun goes to another mafia boss, Sabri, for some idea of how to get the amount he owes to Ateş.
