Directive is the type of speech act used by the speaker to encourage or direct listeners to take an action. This research aimed to find out the types of directive speech acts used in The Forge movie and to find out the most dominant type of directive speech acts. This research used a qualitative method. The source of the data was taken from The Forge movie, while the data of this research were collected from the dialogue that contained the directive speech act. This research used George Yule‟s theory to analyse the type of directive speech acts. There were 4 types of directive speech acts used in The Forge movie with total 102 data. There were command 32 data, order 7 data, request 14 data, and suggestion 49 data. The suggestion is the most dominant directive speech act because The Forge movie has a motivational storyline with light and redemptive conflict, where all characters often encourage others through advice, spiritual insight, and positive reinforcement.
