Abstract

Bangkit! (2016), Indonesia’s first large-scale catastrophe film depicting catastrophic urban flooding in Jakarta, is the subject of this study. While there has been an increase in studies on disaster communication and resilience, less focus has been placed on how cinema influences cultural perceptions of urban resilience in relation to environmental risk. In order to close this gap, the study uses Roland Barthes’ semiotic framework to examine the movie's main narrative and visual components. There are three main themes in the analysis. First, fast urbanization and climate-related risks are shown as creating a fragile urban environment in Jakarta. Second, systemic deficiencies in preparedness and crisis management are shown by the representation of weak disaster governance. Third, in the face of institutional failure, family relationships and community solidarity serve as cultural pillars of urban resilience, highlighting adaptive social practices. By demonstrating how popular movie shapes public perceptions of urban resilience, these findings go beyond film analysis. At the policy level, the movie's depiction of disjointed coordination, inadequate readiness, and eroded public confidence emphasizes the necessity of better early warning systems, more integrated disaster governance, and community-centered resilience tactics in disaster-prone urban areas.
