The Raid trailer

Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world's most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police.

Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building's lights are cut and all the exits blocked.

Stranded on the 6th floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission.

Directed by Gareth Evans (Merantau), The Raid has been hailed by critics as one of the best action films in years after it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The Indonesian adrenaline-fueled action-film will be released by Madman on March 22.
