A Muslim fighter is injured in a clash with security officers. His sister rescues him from the officers and he takes refuge in a house frequented by the son of a high-ranking SAVAK official, who is not a Muslim. The young man falls in love with the girl, but her father, a SAVAK officer, who is against their marriage, creates trouble for the fighter's siblings. As a result of the sibling clashes, the boy is influenced by the sibling's actions and converts to Islam and marries the girl. A short time later, he and the girl's brother are killed in a clash with security officers.
Escape The Field is a serviceable horror thriller. The characters are easier to remember as horror character tropes. As I wrote this review, I only remembered the characters by their tropes: #FinalGirl, #Everyman, #Badass, #MeanB*/SexyGirl, #Realist/BlackLesbian, and #TheNerd.
