The director, who is known for his previous works Sang Kiai (The Clerics, 2012), Bangkit! (2016), and Teman Tapi Menikah (2018), gave a new life – or its old soul, to be precise – to the latest installment of the series, which will hit theaters on Thursday.

Warkop DKI Reborn 3 stands in stark contrast to its predecessors. While Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Boss 1 & 2 were adaptations of the old Warkop film, but with a time travel twist, Warkop Reborn 3 has a new plot but keeps the retro feel throughout its 100-minute running time.

It follows the trio of Dono, Kasino and Indro, all of whom work as DJs at a small radio station before being scouted by a commander of the secret police. They are assigned to find evidence of a money laundering operation involving a production house run by Amir Muka (Ganindra Bimo). For their undercover mission, the three have to get into the entertainment industry as actors and join auditions.

At a party hosted by Muka to announce his production house’s new comedy series starring Dono and TV series darling turned movie star Inka (Shalsabila), their quest for clues leads the three undercover cops to a mysterious high-tech chamber. Their investigation, however, is foiled and they find themselves waking up in crates in the middle of the Moroccan desert.

They realize that the fourth crate, which was supposed to be Inka’s, is empty and set off on a thrilling adventure.
