A special forces rookie fights for his life against a building full of baddies in Welsh filmmaker Gareth Evans’ skull-splinteringly violent martial arts action movie.

Deep in the heart of one of Jakarta’s most deprived slums stands an impenetrable high-rise apartment block - 30 floors of Hell housing dangerous killers, gangsters, and the area's most notorious crime lord. It is a fortress-like safe house protecting them from the law. When officer Rama (Iko Uwais) becomes the last surviving member of his elite police squad, he must fight his way to the top of the building to escape with his life. 

An action-packed, bone-crunching, unrelenting 100-minute odyssey, The Raid is a stone-cold action masterpiece. 

This screening will be preceded by a live, short combat performance by Philip Rafferty and Ian McCracken.

Philip Rafferty (Raff Combat) along with Ian McCracken (FightRight) are members of the Academy of Performance Combat (APC) EquityUK recognised exam board that specialise in training actors in theatrical violence. From weaponry fights to unarmed combat, this skill is vital in bringing performances to the next level and movie action onto the stage.
