**_The Outcast_**) is a [2007](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_in_film) [Iranian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran) film, written and directed by [Masoud Dehnamaki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masoud_Dehnamaki), narrating a story during [Iran–Iraq War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War).

The film is Dehnamaki's first feature film, after he directed two documentaries about social problems in Iran.

The film had also broken all box-office records in Iran, earning nearly 1 billion [toman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_toman) only twenty-eight days after its release[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekhrajiha#cite_note-1) and finishing its run with over 2 billion toman. Additionally the film is one of few Iranian war movies in which the heroes are extremely flawed and shown to commit acts often viewed as "immoral" by authorities in Iran
