Following immediately after the events of THE RAID, Rama (Iko Uwais) is forced to reinvent himself as an undercover cop in order to provide protection for his wife and child. Working for the anti-corruption taskforce led by the one person he can trust, Bunawar, he is given a mission to engage himself as an enforcer for a local mob boss, Bangun. Finding a way in through Bangun's son Uco, Rama must hunt for information linking Bangun with police force corruption. All the while, he harbors a dangerous and personal vendetta for revenge and justice that threatens to consume him, and bring both this mission and the organized crime syndicates crashing down.

The first Raid film had such quality in it's action parts, it had no equal for the action buff. While lacking a plot with depth, it delivered in pure, raw, violence.
The second Raid film, adds depth to what was happening in the first, has a better plot, and, most unexpectedly, basically tops the first one! With a whole city at it's disposal now, the city has different locations, lighting styles, with added car chases, shoot outs, and action sequences. All while adding a plot that has more twists and turns to it.
