About The Big Boss
Lies, a 17-year-old student, is forced to marry Madun, an aging and wealthy man, as a way to repay her mother's debts. Her heart actually belongs to Jack, the son of a rich businessman from the same village, who now works in Jakarta. After giving up her rebellion, Lies finally agrees—with several conditions: the marriage must take place in the capital, and Madun has to comply with all her demands. Madun confidently agrees, clueless that Lies has already devised a cunning plan.
Directed by CC Hardy, The Big Boss leans on a strong ensemble — Benyamin Sueb, Ida Royani, Marlia Hardi — 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 drama titles of 1973.
