“Mortal Kombat” (1995) is a martial arts fantasy film directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, based on the popular video game series of the same name created by Ed Boon and John Tobias. The film stars Robin Shou, Linden Ashby, Bridgette Wilson, Christopher Lambert, and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.

The story centers around a martial arts tournament called Mortal Kombat, which is held every generation to determine the fate of Earthrealm.

The film follows three main characters: Liu Kang (Robin Shou), a young martial artist seeking to avenge his brother’s death; Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby), a Hollywood action star with impressive fighting skills; and Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson), a Special Forces operative on a quest to capture the criminal Kano (Trevor Goddard).
