Overview
Omar Rojik’s ‘Batu Durhaka’ tells the story of Wira and his ultimate fate of committing disloyalty and sin towards his mother and family. His nemesis is Perkasa, a vicious and lustful tyrant in the village community who has kidnapped his younger sister Indah. The kidnap was witnessed by Wira’s handicapped brother Mala, who could do nothing other than watch and be rapped by Perkasa’s followers. When Wira confronts Perkasa, he is defeated and put away on a boat to nowhere. After drifting afloat for a long distance, he is rescued by Mahaguru Bentara who brings him to a cave to recuperate. Under the tutelage of the Mahaguru, who is a martial arts exponent, Wira becomes one of his leading disciples and falls in love with his daughter Desawati. He betrays Desawati's love and their consummation when he decides to return to his village, to seek vengeance against Perkasa.
