Forbidden Network

Two Indonesian citizens, members of a drug syndicate based in New York, leak some information to Indonesian police that Ben Murphy, a syndicate member, is now inspecting cannabis fields on the northern Borneo border. The police immediately arrest Ben Murphy, and try to get some information out of him. Ben runs away and meets Cindy Jackson, who wants revenge for the death of her lover. The police succeed in destroying the cannabis fields and the syndicate. Cindy gets involved romantically with a policeman while Ben goes with a hunter girl in the forests of Borneo.

Directed by Ackyl Anwari, Forbidden Network leans on a strong ensemble — Hengky Tornando, Leonard Urso Jr, Cindy Lee Duck — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1987.
