Buffalo Boys
Directed by Mike Wiluan
Produced by Infinite Studios, Zhao Wei Films
A revenge-driven action drama that blends Asian martial arts with Western frontier mythology, centered on familial bonds and the struggle against colonial oppression.
Betrayed by the Dutch colonial forces, Arana manages to escape along with his nephews Jamar and Suwo, the newborn sons of Hamza, one of the last Indonesian sultans fighting against foreign tyranny. In 1860, after wandering for years on the plains of the American Wild West, Arana and the two brothers return to Indonesia to avenge their dead loved ones and punish the evil man who caused their misfortune.
