This movie tells different stories of people who have become desperate with city life. Rosli is a stall owner who, in his quest to get rich, borrows money from illegal moneylenders. However he loses all his money in a get rich quick scheme and now owes the moneylenders a significant amount. Unable to pay, his wife and son are kidnapped by the moneylenders to ensure his repayment. Meanwhile a young man, Rizal, is involved with the illegal racing scene. He crosses paths with a notorious racer Legau and in their attempts to beat each other, they cause the deaths of innocent people. Ria, on the other hand, is involved in the sale of designer drugs headed by her boyfriend Nala. In a period of rebelliousness she meets Sufi, a nightclub waiter. Sufi is an addict but his relationship with Ria becomes so strong that he decides to take her away from Nala

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
