Night of Terror follows one sleepless night in the final years before the Iranian Revolution, where the lives of two men—born from the same wounded past yet shaped into opposite extremes—intertwine in a tense psychological spiral. Hedayat, a university professor and once-idealistic intellectual, now finds himself paralyzed by fear, self-doubt, and the weight of a collapsing society. His anger turns inward, feeding a quiet, corrosive despair. Meanwhile, Hadi, a brutal security agent molded by the same history, has learned to weaponize his rage outward, inflicting pain on others with ruthless confidence. As political unrest intensifies outside, both men are forced to confront the origins of their shared darkness. Through fragmented memories, feverish thoughts, and the growing tremor of revolution in the streets, the story reveals that the line between the “intellectual” and the “thug” is thinner than it appears—both products of the same broken system, both carrying the same seed of violence. Over the course of a single night, their inner storms collide with the external chaos of a nation on the brink, where buried rage erupts, identities crumble, and no one escapes the fire of what is coming.
