Plot summary

Boy is a smart, handsome teenager who looks cool and gets plenty of attention from young women, whom he generally ignores. He is also the leader of the Warrior motorcycle gang. He still pines for Adriana, his ex-girlfriend who left him for a much older and wealthier man.
One day, Boy saves Reva, a girl on a motorbike who is being chased by another gang. Boy is impressed with Reva's riding skills, but she is annoyed at him. The rival gang, led by Mondy, mistakenly believe Reva to be a member of Warrior, and she anticipates a gang rivalry. Boy feels guilty and decides to dissolve Warrior. This leads to conflict among the group's members, and Warrior eventually splits up.
Reva is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, Bey, and she races motorcycles as a form of rebellion against the fact that he marries Adriana, a girl her own age, after Reva's mother dies. Reva believes Adriana is the cause of her mother's death, and she resists Adriana's attempts to win her over.
In the end, Boy dies in a motorcycle accident.

Controversy

KPI warning

The Indonesian Broadcasting Commission issued a warning to the producers of Anak Jalanan on 24 November 2015 for the use of explicit violence in the 11 November episode. The series also often depicts scenes of motorcycle racing, which the KPI deemed inappropriate for broadcast due to the potential for copycat behaviour, especially as the show was mainly watched by teenagers. On 31 December, the KPI deemed the scene of a man yelling "bego" and "tolol" as unsuitable for teen viewing.
On 22 January 2016, the KPI decided that an episode featuring two men driving motorcycles at high speeds could have negative impact and might be imitated by viewers, especially teenagers.< Five days later, on 27 January, it identified a fight scene involving a group of men and decided to impose an administrative sanction.

Dylan Carr arrest

On 6 January 2016, actor Dylan Carr was arrested for cannabis possession while on his way to a filming location. Urine tests revealed he had been using illicit drugs.
