Damak is a gifted footballer but because of a previous accident, he is left with constant paranoia and is scarred for life, which ultimately discourages him from playing the game that he is good at. In the present day, he works as a dispatch rider and during his free time he is the water boy for a football team called Luncai FC. The players of the team are also his friends. But in a chance situation where one of his friends, Lisa, was bullied during a tournament, Damak decides to take her place, not withstanding the harassment from the opposing team, the Red Dragon. Seeing skills never thought existed in Damak, his friends push him to be one of their players in the next match. Daniel, the leader of the Red Dragon, realized the potential in Damak and felt threatened. In an attempt to keep his team's winning title as champions of the tournament, Daniel persuades his girlfriend Rini to seduce and distract Damak, and further luring him into joining the Red Dragon team.

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.
