King (2009) has become one of the most talked-about drama and family films, and this guide covers everything you need before you press play. Directed by Ari Sihasale, the project blends drama and family into something that lingers long after the credits. Read on for the full plot overview, the cast and crew, critical reception, and answers to the questions fans ask most.
King plot and story overview
At its core, King follows a story that unfolds like this: Guntur (Rangga Raditya) is an ordinary kid from village in Banyuwangi who lives an ordinary life. Well, not quite ordinary, since he is the “victim” of his father and friend obsession. His father (Mamiek Prakoso) treated him hard (mentally) because he wants Guntur to be a badminton champion like Liem Swie King, while Raden (Lucky Martin), his friend, pushed him to take part in local match by suggesting that he’ll have a lot of money if he wins. After learning that his efforts on winning the local match only brought him trouble, he became mad to his father and Raden and never care about badminton anymore. However, his father and Raden have secrets that Guntur doesn’t know it, yet…
What sets it apart is how it treats its drama and family elements not as decoration but as the engine of the plot. The tagline — "First badminton movie" — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
