The plot revolves around a PASKAU team led by Captain Adib and his mentor, Major Adnan, who are tasked with protecting humanitarians serving in the war-torn country of Namburi. On their way home, their plane is shot down by local militants; 9 of the passengers manage to jump before the plane crashes. Back in Malaysia, the air force prepares for a rescue mission after learning of the news. Zafran, Adib's brother-in-law and a daring SUKHOI pilot who is temporarily grounded, fights for the chance to save them. The air force mobilises its combined assets for the mission, and the survivors make one last dash for salvation.

The film's Gala Premiere is held on the same night, with Guests of Honor including the Chief of Defence Force, Jeneral Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Haji Affendi bin Buang RMAF and Deputy Chief of Air Force, Lieutenant Jeneral Dato’ Indera Muhamad Norazlan bin Aris RMAF as its Guests of Honor.

More than 2,300 guests, including officers from the Malaysian Armed Forces and the Royal Malaysian Air Force, attended the Gala Premiere of AIR FORCE THE MOVIE: SELAGI BERNYAWA, which was held in 17 cinema halls at GSC Mid Valley. Representatives from its main sponsors Bonia and Cuckoo, as well as co-sponsors AHB and 7 Days, were in attendance.

The action-packed AIR FORCE THE MOVIE: SELAGI BERNYAWA is set to soar in 170 cinemas across Malaysia, Brunei, and Singapore on August 25, 2022, thanks to the support of the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS). It is also available in Dolby Atmos and 4DX for a more immersive and enhanced experience.

During the press conference, the directors and the stars have shared with the media members regarding their experience during the filming of the show. 

Both of the directors Zulkarnain Azhar and Frank See have informed the media members regarding their most challenging scenes to film in the show. They also shared on how their production team made special pods to be attached to the fighter jet for their great aerial scenes. They did not inform the exact costs of production for the film but they assured the media members that the amount is huge!

Dato' Adi Putra who played Major Adnan was very happy to be involved in this film and he even paid respect to the TUDM and the respective teams during the press conference for their commitment in helping the filming process. He hopes that he can take part in Air Force future spin-offs or prequels if there are really any. 

All of the cast members were very honoured to be involved in this film. Apart from the filming, they were glad to learn more about the mechanisms of the jets and military training.

Pablo was surprised that he was being casted as a protagonist instead of an antagonist because he was always being casted as villains in other films. He's thankful that they do not need the artistes to buff up prior to the film. On the contrary, Anas Ridzuan who played a comedy relief in the film reprises his own comedic character during the press conference by jokingly mention about how he's been training his own body to prepare for the shooting process.

Jack Tan shared on how he was being casted in the show and kept expressing his apology to his fellow directors and co-actors for all the rain he caused during the shooting process due to his character's alias "Hujan" for the film.

Otherwise, Scha Alyahya, Iman Corinne and Carmen Soo have all expressed on how their female characters could be the representatives for female empowerment in movies like Air Force The Movie: Selagi Bernyawa!

Our team watched the film and really think it is a very impressive Malaysian production! We would highly recommend everyone to visit your nearby cinema to watch such a great film now!
