SYNOPSIS: 

Set during the colonialism era, Buffalo Boys follows two brothers Suwo and Jamar (Yoshi Sudarso and Ario Bayu respectively) and their uncle/mentor-like figure Arana (Tio Pakusadewo) who finally ended their long sojourn in the Wild West to avenge the death of the brothers’ father/uncle’s comrade Sultan Hamza (Mike Lucock) in the hands of the ruthless Dutch tyrant Van Trach (Reinout Bussemaker). Making their maiden return to their birth nation Java, the trio encounters a nation that is now helpless under oppression, where lands and its people are nothing more than a property. Sympathizing with the people’s struggle, they begin to realize that their mission is more than just familial vendetta.
