Speech disorder refers to a delay in producing language and in developing the speech, it reduces the voice quality which involves the sound, volume, and the disturbance of sound rhythm and it is difficult to be understood.The speech disorder is classified as aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, stuttering, and cluttering (Feldman, 2005; &Lanier, 2010). From those types of speech disorder, the focus of the research was stuttering found in the movie. The Guitar and Yaruss & Reardon-Reeves‟ theories are used in this research. The research applies a descriptive qualitative method because it describes more to the phenomenon of speech disorder in the movie. The data were taken from all of speech uttered by the character. The research reveals the findings that there are three types of stuttering, i.e. blockings, prolongations, repetitions, and four forms of repetitions produced by the character, i.e. monosyllabic whole word, individual sounds or syllables, multisyllabic whole word and phrase repetition. Among them, blockings are the most type of stuttering produced by the character and multisyllabic whole word is the rarely form of type of speech disorder produced. In this research, psychological aspects such as trauma, depression, anxiety, pressure, and fright are factors that can cause the character suffer from stuttering whereas pressure and depression are the factors mostly found as the cause of speech disorder produced by the character in the movie.
