๐ฉธ Plot Summary
After the explosive events of The Raid 2, undercover agent Rama vanishes from the criminal radar, broken and disillusioned. But peace is short-lived. When whispers of an international crime syndicate planning a hostile takeover of Jakartaโs underground reach him, Rama is pulled back into the shadowsโfor one final war.
The Raid 3 takes the brutal, close-quarters chaos of its predecessors and expands the battlefield across Southeast Asia. From cramped alleys and dim-lit train cars to blood-soaked hotel corridors, Rama fights his way through enemies with sharpened fists, unforgiving knives, and unrelenting precision.
As alliances shift and betrayals mount, Rama must confront not only his deadliest opponents yetโbut the man heโs become in a world ruled by violence.
