Officials from Pana Film said that these locations were chosen, after scouting several locations in Lebanon, Syria and Bulgaria as well as 20 provinces in Turkey, including Hatay, Elazığ, Şanlıurfa and Gaziantep, due to "the historical texture, the streets and local culture of these places". The film, which is projected to cost over $20 million, making it one of the most expensive Turkish films, was shot in 11 weeks on location in Adana and Tarsus (Turkey) with a team of 400 people during the summer of 2010. All we want is freedom for innocent and tormented Palestinian people living in inhumane conditions in the world's biggest prison." "The goal of the film is to show what the Palestinians are going through." Screenwriter Bahadır Özdener added: "We're calling out to people's conscience. "This is not about taking revenge for Mavi Marmara", stated producer Zübeyr Şaşmaz. The existing script was subsequently rewritten to feature the raid as the centre piece of the plot. Pana Film had already settled on the Palestinian territories as the setting of the film and was about to start shooting when the Gaza flotilla raid occurred on. After a fierce urban battle, Polat kills Moshe. After he finds out that the Turkish commando receives support from Palestinian Abdullah, Moshe arrests Abdullah's family and bulldozers their house, with Abdullah's son Ahmet in it. Polat manages to wound Moshe, who from that moment on goes with an eye patch. A Turkish commando team led by Polat Alemdar (Necati Şaşmaz) travels to the West Bank, where they launch a campaign against Israeli military personnel in an attempt to track down and eliminate an Israeli general, Moşe Ben Eliyezer (Erdal Beşikçioğlu), who was responsible for the flotilla raid.
Some activists violently resist and are killed by the Israeli soldiers. After the flotilla attempts to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip to bring humanitarian assistance and building materials, it is boarded by the Israeli military.
