The Raid: Redemption or Serbuan Maut is a 2011 Indonesian action film written and directed by Gareth Evans and starring Iko Uwais which was released worldwide in March 2012. This is the second collaboration of Evans and Uwais after their first action film, Merantau released in 2009. Both films showcase the traditional Indonesian martial art Pencak Silat. The fight choreographers of The Raid are Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian who also worked on Merantau. The U.S. release of the film features music by Mike Shinoda of American rock band Linkin Park and Joseph Trapanese.

After its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), The Raid received positive reviews from critics.

Due to a trademark issue in the U.S. and the plan of a trilogy, the original English title for U.S. distribution has been slightly changed to The Raid: Redemption.


Story: Deep in the heart of Jakarta's slums lies an impenetrable derelict apartment building which became a safe house for the city's most dangerous murderers, killers and gangsters. The rundown apartment block has been considered untouchable by rivals of the notorious crime lord Tama Riyadi and even the police. It all changes when an elite (SWAT) team is tasked with raiding the building in order to take down Tama once and for all....
