The gripping new film follows an unexpected hero who must fight to protect his grandchildren from a ruthless criminal syndicate.

Netflix is set to premiere its latest Indonesian Original film, Serangan Balik, globally on November 12, 2026. Directed by Sidharta Tata, the action drama promises more than explosive fights and high-stakes survival—it is also an emotional story about family, grief, redemption, and rebuilding trust across three generations.

A newly released teaser offers a first glimpse at the film’s intense action, introducing a grandfather who is forced to draw on skills from his past when his family is threatened by a dangerous criminal syndicate.

When Family Is Worth Fighting For

Set in a small village in Central Java, Serangan Balik centers on a grandfather who has grown accustomed to living a solitary life. His quiet routine is disrupted when he is reunited with his two grandchildren, whom he has not seen for a long time.

But their reunion quickly turns into a fight for survival.

Trouble from Jakarta follows the family to their remote home, where a group of ruthless criminals launches an attack and leaves them trapped in a life-threatening situation. With danger closing in, the grandfather and his grandchildren are left with only two choices: run—or fight back.

The teaser hints at a man who may appear ordinary at first, but is more than capable of defending the people he loves when pushed to the limit.

An Action Story With Heart

While Serangan Balik delivers intense combat and tactical action, the film is ultimately driven by its family story.

At its core is the relationship between three generations trying to reconnect while confronting pain and unresolved wounds from the past. As the characters fight to survive, they must also learn to trust one another again.

This combination of visceral action, tactical ingenuity, and relatable family dynamics gives Serangan Balik an emotional edge beyond its action-thriller premise.

The film also marks the first collaboration between director Sidharta Tata and acclaimed producers Kimo Stamboel and Edwin Nazir, bringing together filmmakers with strong experience in Indonesian genre cinema.

A Strong Indonesian Cast

Serangan Balik features an ensemble cast led by Lukman Sardi, alongside Callista Arum, Sulthan Hamonangan, Derby Romero, and Donny Alamsyah.

With its Central Javanese setting, family-driven story, and hard-hitting action, the film adds another ambitious Indonesian title to Netflix’s growing slate of locally produced Original films.

Serangan Balik will be available to watch globally and exclusively on Netflix starting November 12, 2026.
