We are four Lions.
Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce.

Reviews
As recent examples of British cinema satire go, this is one of the better ones. It follows the antics of four Muslims who are fed up with the way the are being treated. It's "Omar" (Riz Ahmed) who comes up with a cunning plan that involves them trekking to Pakistan where they will learns all the ninja skills of the modern-day jihadist! The easily led "Waj" (Kayvan Novak) is up for it but convert "
Hilarious from the start to the end.
