Synopsis 'TIMUR', Director Debut of Iko Uwais

From the very first moment, the clip immediately hits hard with chilling visuals in the midst of the wild wilderness, as if signaling that this film will not mess around. This ambitious project also serves as the opening work from his production house, Uwais Pictures.

The brutal fight choreography that is a hallmark of Uwais Team is presented with such high intensity. Every punch, kick, and gunfire feels so authentic and is ready to thrill audiences in theaters. It seems that Iko Uwais truly wants to set a new standard for the action genre in the homeland.

However, don’t think that TIMUR will only be a showcase of brawls. Behind the thrilling action, this film holds a strong humanitarian drama. The story revolves around a special forces soldier who receives a dangerous mission in his own homeland, a task that ultimately confronts him with his past trauma.

The East and the team must face a tough battlefield. A forest with dense vegetation and a river with a strong current present their own challenges.

This is not just a film about physical fights, but also an inner struggle of a man to make peace with himself. With a grand theme surrounding brotherhood, sacrifice, and redemption, THE EAST promises a complete viewing experience, not only satisfying the eyes but also touching the heart.

For Iko, a great action movie must have a strong story foundation and a soul that can be felt by the audience. This 42-year-old actor wants to present a complete cinematic experience, where the audience can feel every emotion experienced by the characters.

Iko's decision to dive into directing is a very natural career evolution. With years of experience as an actor and a skilled action choreographer, his understanding of storytelling through physical action becomes his main asset in crafting a film that balances brutal scenes with a touching narrative.
