However, Omar isn't much of leader, and he's assembled an unimpressive team of fellow terrorists, among them Waj (Kayvan Novak), who lacks the brainpower to come up with ideas or direction on his own Faisal (Adeel Akhtar), who is shy and doesn't have much to say and Barry (Nigel Lindsay), a recent convert to Islam who tries to make up for his lack of practical knowledge with fierce passion. Omar (Riz Ahmed) is a devout Muslim living in the United Kingdom who has decided to form a terrorist cell to bring forth a jihad against a culture he believes is dominated by the sinful and ignorant.

When Marcus refuses to become Majestic's No.
But Majestic, who's already got his hooks in top-selling rapper Dangerous (Michael Miller), is waiting for Marcus on the outside. His new friend, Bama (Terrence Howard), even offers to be his manager once they get out. While in prison, Marcus decides to turn his life around and become the rapper he always dreamed of being. But everything changes when Marcus seriously wounds a Colombian dealer in a revenge shooting and the cops turn up bags of cocaine during a raid on Marcus' apartment. He also starts amassing a small fortune, and if a shaky détente with a rival Colombian drug gang means that every once in while someone gets shot, Marcus figures it's worth the risk. As soon as he's old enough, the teenaged Marcus (Jackson) moves out, hooks up with his mother's old boss, Majestic (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), and puts together his own crew: Antwan (Ashley Walters), Justice (Tory Kittles) and Keryl (Omar Benson Miller).
Going from pampered only child to a basement room and hand-me-downs doesn't sit well with Marcus, and he starts dealing coke himself, though he dreams of one day becoming a rapper. Raised by his mother, Katrina (Serena Reeder), a corner coke dealer who makes enough money to keep her son in good clothes and pricey sneakers, young Marcus (Marc John Jefferies) is sent to live with his grandmother (Viola Davis) when Katrina is murdered. As Marcus (Jackson) lies dying on a quiet Queens, NY, street with the barrel of an assassin's gun pressed against his cheek, he reviews a life defined by dangerous ambition and by a father he never knew. East Coast rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's big-screen debut is a thinly fictionalized version of his own life that further exploits a notorious career involving drug dealing, attempted murder and rap superstardom.
