After its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), The Raid received positive reviews from critics. The name of the film was changed to The Raid: Redemption in the United States because the distibutor company Sony Pictures Classics could not secure the rights to the title; this also allowed Evans to plan out future titles in the series. It was released in the United States on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on August 14, 2012.

Opening at an apartment block in Jakarta's slums, a 20-man Detachment 88 police squad arrives undetected; led by rookie Officer Rama, Sergeant Jaka, and Lieutenant Wahyuand, the team intends to kill crime lord Tama Riyadi, who owns the block. Subduing various criminal tenants, the team detains a man delivering medicine to his sick wife in apartment 726, only for him to leave. Continuing undetected to the sixth floor, the team is spotted by a young lookout, who raises the alarm before he is shot and killed.
Tama calls in reinforcements, who successfully kill and maim a majority of the police. Cutting the lights, Tama announces over the PA system that the police are trapped on the sixth floor stairwell, and he will grant free permanent residence to those who kill the intruders. In the darkness, the team is soon ambushed by shooters from above and behind, and Jaka then learns from Wahyu that the mission isn't officially sanctioned by the force, meaning nobody knows their location and no backup or reinforcements will arrive. Fleeing into an empty apartment, Bowo is shot and injured, forcing Rama to improvise an explosion that kills the pursuing tenants. With more antagonists approaching, the team is forced to split into two groups covertly; Jaka, Wahyu, and Dagu retreat to the fifth floor, while Rama and Bowo ascend to the seventh.
Fighting to apartment 726, Rama and Bowo plead with the man with the sick wife to help them, to which he reluctantly agrees. Hiding the officers in a secret passage, a gang arrives and inspects the man's apartment; after failing to find Rama and Bowo, however, they eventually leave. After giving medical attention to Bowo, Rama leaves him with the couple to search for Jaka's team, only to be captured by Andi, Tama's right hand man. It is then revealed Rama is Andi's estranged brother, and that Rama signed up for the mission to try and save Andi.
Concurrently, Jaka and his group are found by Mad Dog, Tama's ruthless henchman, only for Wahyu to flee; ordering Dagu to follow Wahyu, Jaka remains to fight Mad Dog bare-handed, only for Mad Dog to subdue and kill him. Andi, telling Rama to wait before leaving, meets up with Mad Dog, who drags Jaka's body to Tama. However, Tama has seen Andi talking to Rama on the numerous hidden cameras in the building. Realizing Andi's betrayal when he didn't return with a corpse, Tama stabs Andi in the hand before turning him over to Mad Dog.
Rama regroups with Wahyu and Dagu, who go on to fight through a narcotics lab, and head for Tama on the 15th floor. Rama, finding Andi being beaten by Mad Dog, separates from Wahyu and Dagu to save him; Mad Dog, allowing him to free Andi, fights Rama and Andi together, only to be overpowered and killed by the duo. Meanwhile, Wahyu and Dagu confront Tama, only for Wahyu to shoot and kill Dagu instead, with Wahyu believing that keeping Tama alive as a hostage will allow him to escape. Firing on Rama and Andi, Wahyu attempts to escape with Tama, only for Tama to gloat that his actions are futile; revealing the corrupt officers that ordered the mission also warned Tama of the attack, Tama boasts that even if Wahyu escapes, he will just be killed later. Wahyu then kills Tama, and attempts suicide, but fails as he has no bullets left.
Andi, using his influence over the tenants, allows Rama to leave with Bowo and a detained Wahyu. Andi also hands over numerous blackmail recordings Tama made of corrupt officers taking bribes, hoping that Rama can use them to his benefit. Rama asks Andi to come home, but he refuses, due to his acclimation to his lifestyle. Before Rama leaves, Andi asserts he can protect Rama in his role as a criminal boss, but that Rama cannot do the same for him.
