Lewat Tengah Malam

Lewat Tengah Malam literally Past Midnight is a 1971 Indonesian film and the first featurelength production by director Sjumandjaja. Starring Rachmat Hidayat, Rima Melati, and Soekarno M. Noer, it follows a thief named Lono who steals from the corrupt to give to the poor. The film, which may have been influenced by The Thomas Crown Affair 1968, was reportedly very tiring for the director, who briefly considered never directing again. The social realist elements led to Suhartos New Order government keeping Sjumandjaja under surveillance.

In his crimes Lono is supported by Sukma Rima Melati, a law student whose father has been crippled in a staged hitandrun accident for his work as an anticorruption activist. As she falls in love with Lono, Sukma discovers his background and becomes increasingly understanding of Lonos motivations.After Lonos final heist, a theft from a major corruptor named Ongko Wim Umboh in the capital city of Jakarta, he goes to his brothers house nearby. The two reminisce on old times until Djoko says that he must arrest Lono the latter comes willingly. Sukma agrees to defend Lono in court. ........
