"Not Without My Daughter" is a suspenseful drama film based on the true story of Betty Mahmoody. The movie portrays Betty (Sally Field), an American housewife married to an Iranian doctor, Moody (Alfred Molina). Initially, they live a seemingly happy life in the United States. However, Moody becomes increasingly strict with his religious beliefs and cultural traditions.
In 1984, after much persuasion from Moody, Betty agrees to travel with him along with their young daughter, Mahtob (Sheila Rosenthal), to Iran for a two-week vacation to visit Moody's family. To her dismay, Betty soon discovers that the trip was a ruse, and Moody intends to move indefinitely to Iran, forcing Betty and Mahtob into a life of Islamic culture.
Betty finds herself trapped in a hostile environment where women have limited rights and freedoms. Moody becomes abusive, forcing Betty to adhere to strict Islamic customs and isolating her from any contact with the Western world. Determined to protect her daughter from this oppressive life, Betty starts planning an escape.
As the years go by, Betty forms a secret alliance with an Iranian woman named Sahab (Roshan Seth) who sympathizes with her situation. Betty gathers money, makes contacts with the underground network, and conceals her plan from Moody, who becomes increasingly suspicious of her behavior.
Despite the constant threat of danger and the fear of being caught, Betty manages to devise a plan to escape with her daughter. With the help of Sahab and a heroic Canadian man named David (Sheila Rosenthal), Betty and Mahtob embark on a perilous journey filled with risks and obstacles.
The climax of the movie occurs when Betty and Mahtob reach the Turkish border, where they face a dramatic confrontation with Moody, who is determined to take their daughter back to Iran. With her resolve and a stroke of luck, Betty ultimately secures their freedom and cross the border into safety.
"Not Without My Daughter" is a gripping story of a mother's unyielding love and determination to protect her child against all odds. The movie highlights the struggles faced by women in oppressive societies, the strength of the human spirit, and the power of love in the face of adversity.
