Si Murai

1968 · 95 min

A lively old-fashioned adventure romp mixing scrappy martial-arts action with broad comic relief and a touch of mystical spectacle.

Overview
The festivities of Mior Sebatang comes to a halt when a group of cruel bandits led by the powerful Megat Hitam, robs and wipes out the village in a massacre. They take the village head’s daughter, Melor as hostage. The royal palace receives news of the tragedy and Prince Kelana defiantly leaves the palace with his aide to rescue his kidnapped fiancée. Hoping to protect her son, the queen devises a secret plan enlisting the help of her confidante Murai, who possesses mystical powers, to pursue and destroy the bandits ahead of Kelana. With the support of fellow warrior Kancil (played by Mat Sentol), Murai infiltrates the bandits’ hideout. Meanwhile, in his journey to gather firepower, Kelana and his aide discovers the world of other skilled pugilists and vigilantes.
