Bogeyman

Fresh out of prison, the veteran criminal Sultan—known as the Bogeyman—announces his retirement from street crime: "I'm out. It's not for me." His associates urge him to take one final job to secure funds for his future, telling him, "Consider it your retirement bonus." latestnetflix.com's view is that Sultan agrees to steal a basalt cat statue and a bag of cash from a criminal named Tohamy during a planned exchange at the Montana Hotel downtown.

At the hotel café, Sultan joins his associate Shokry Durgham and Sabry for the handoff. Once Tohamy’s men display the goods, Sultan draws his weapon, yelling, "Drop your weapons!" He seizes both the statue and the money for himself. When Shokry accuses him of betrayal, Sultan replies, "Sorry, boss. The dollar rules my heart." Gunfire erupts through the café and into the street. Sultan shoots Shokry in the backside and escapes alone with the loot.

Meanwhile, Dr. Salma prepares to leave Cairo on an overseas scholarship after exposing a long-term malingerer at her clinic. Across the city, a debt-ridden forger named Soka Abu Hadeda is dragged away by a creditor demanding payment. At the same time, Sultan contacts a buyer named Zakareya to sell the stolen statue, only to be interrupted outside by two young children, Mariam and Malek. Malek points at Sultan and calls him "Dad".

A letter left with the children claims their mother remarried a man in Saudi Arabia who refuses to raise another man's offspring: "Dear Sultan. First of all, these are your children." Malek and Mariam explain they are non-identical twins born over a year apart. Sultan rejects the claim and orders them to go to their aunt, but Shokry’s henchmen track Sultan to his mother’s home. Sultan hides the children beneath a bed, fights off the gunmen, and drives away with the pair.

Stopping to let Malek use a public restroom, Sultan crosses paths with Salma in a gas station shop. When Sultan tries to leave the children by the roadside, Malek alerts a passing police officer by threatening to reveal Sultan's stolen vehicle and criminal record. The officer offers the family an escort, forcing Sultan to take the children with him to Cairo International Airport.

At the terminal, Sultan learns from an accomplice that he must travel through Port Said aboard a cargo ship. While Salma prepares to board her flight, Sultan corners her in the terminal and attaches a corded device to her, warning, "I swear I will blow both of us up." He instructs her to deliver his children to a local address. Before Salma can react, Shokry and Sabry enter the airport shouting threats. Sultan retrieves Salma and the children and drives them out of the terminal.

Needing forged travel documents before the 11:00 p.m. Departure, Sultan tracks Soka to a den where a creditor holds him captive for three hundred thousand pounds. Sultan wagers against the creditor in a card game and loses. To orchestrate a distraction, Soka insinuates that the creditor’s bodyguard spends suspicious two-hour visits at the boss's house, asking whether the boss's wife ever called him "baby." The creditor turns on his guard, allowing Sultan and Soka to flee.

Soka takes the group to his former apartment, only to discover he already sold the property to pay off debts, prompting the new owner to attack them. During the chaotic flight, Malek is separated from the group. Sultan gives Salma the aunt's address and sends her away with Mariam, but Shokry’s crew ambushes them on the street. Shokry calls Sultan to demand the return of the stolen money and statue in exchange for his daughter and Salma, whom Shokry assumes is Sultan's wife.

Sultan finds Malek hiding inside his travel bag. Malek confesses he hid the money to prevent his father from leaving, striking Sultan when he tries to leave. Facing Sultan's refusal to proceed without the funds, Soka remarks, "The Bogeyman, who was untouchable for 40 years, got whacked in the face by a kid?" Sultan leads Malek to rescue Mariam and Salma, setting off fireworks to distract Shokry’s gang before engaging them in a fistfight.

Sultan brings the children to an outdoor amusement park for a school friend's birthday party, where Malek points out an intimidating classmate named Ahmed. Sultan encourages Malek to defend himself, while Salma discovers that the explosive strapped to her body was merely a phone charger. Soon after, Salma receives a phone call informing her that her university scholarship has been transferred to another candidate. Shokry’s henchmen arrive and attack the park, forcing Sultan, Salma, Soka, and the children to flee once again.

Sultan takes the children to their aunt's residence, where he confronts the aunt's husband for physically abusing them. When Sultan tries to leave the siblings behind, the aunt intervenes and reveals the truth about their mother: "She is dead." She explains that their mother died after a six-year heart illness and that Malek inherited the exact same condition. Sultan embraces Malek, telling the boy, "Now you're the Bogeyman."

When Malek’s condition worsens, Sultan rushes him to the hospital. Soka arranges a scheme to lure Shokry into a trap, but Shokry’s men track Sultan directly to the medical facility. A confrontation in the corridors turns into a pursuit through the city streets. Sultan, Soka, and the children outmaneuver Shokry, whose car crashes, leaving Shokry to declare, "I'm done."

Back at Malek’s bedside, the boy informs Sultan that the bags of stolen money and the statue were left untouched in the car trunk. Police officers arrive to arrest Sultan, who prepares to confess to his offenses, but Soka enters masquerading as his attorney and instructs him to retract his statements.

Upon returning to the car trunk, Sultan discovers the bags filled with bananas alongside a note from Salma: "Forgive me. For everything you did to me, this is the smallest compensation for the opportunity you cost me." Sometime later, Sultan and Soka locate Salma abroad at a restaurant. Threatening her with an elaborate recipe for human shawarma, Sultan asks, "Bun or wrap, Soka?" Salma yields and confesses that the remaining stolen money is stashed inside a cup.
