Mortal Kombat is a martial arts fantasy film directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, based on the popular video game series of the same name. It features an ensemble cast, including Robin Shou as Liu Kang, Linden Ashby as Johnny Cage, Bridgette Wilson as Sonya Blade, and Christopher Lambert as Raiden.

The story centers on an ancient tournament known as Mortal Kombat, where Earthrealm’s finest warriors must battle against powerful fighters from other realms to protect their world from being conquered by the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung (played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) and his champion, Goro. The fate of Earthrealm rests on the shoulders of Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade, who are guided by Raiden, the God of Thunder.

As the heroes compete in intense battles against their formidable opponents, they must also confront their inner demons and personal struggles. The film is filled with hand-to-hand combat, special effects, and iconic characters from the video game series, including Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Kano.

Mortal Kombat became a cult classic due to its action-packed fight scenes, memorable soundtrack, and faithful recreation of the video game universe. While it received mixed critical reviews, it was praised by fans for capturing the spirit of the game and its entertaining martial arts sequences.
