Far from Men is a French 2014 movie directed by David Oelhoffen. 1954: A rebellion is simmering in Algeria that will lead to war between the Algerian independence movement and the military of the French colonial power. Daru, who used to serve in the French army, is now a French teacher in a remote village in the Atlas Mountains. A soldier asks him to take the farmer Mohamed to the nearest police station - the man is accused of being a rebel and murderer, facing execution. Together, Daru and Mohamed make their way through the mountains, in the middle of the icy winter, while horsemen and villagers pursue them, blood vengeance in mind. Slowly, the fleeing men begin to develop an understanding of each other. And finally, Daru has to make a difficult choice: He must decide which side he wants to be on in the fight for freedom


The following weapons were used in the film Far from Men:
