Mat Kilau: Kebangkitan Pahlawan / Mat Kilau: The Rise of a Warrior is a 2022 Malaysian Malay-language epic biographical action adventure film that is inspired by historical events directed by Syamsul Yusof, starring Adi Putra as Mat Kilau bin Imam Rasu, a Malay warrior who fought the British colonialists during the Pahang Uprising in Pahang, British Malaya before independence. The film features Beto Kusyairy, Fattah Amin, Yayan Ruhian, Geoff Andre Feyaerts and Johan As'ari in supporting roles.

Events of the movie is set in 1892, during British colonial rule in Pahang, three years prior to the formation of the Federated Malay States.

The British exploited the wealth of Pahang's produce belonging to the Malays, by imposing taxes on traders and reaping the produce of the people, as well as interfering in their customary and religious affairs.

The action taken by the British, was done without the consent of the Malays in Pahang and has caused them to act against the British in retaliation.

In spirit of defending his homeland of Pahang and freeing it from further occupation, Mat Kilau, a Malay warrior, along with his father, Tok Gajah, and his friends, fought against the British administration.

Conflict and political pressure were faced by the British; and following a plan of resistance by Mat Kilau and his friends, they ultimately clashed with the British in armed battle to determine the fate of Pahang.
