The new Mortal Kombat follows MMA fighter Cole Young who is unaware of his legacy. Or that the evil Emperor of Outworld Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub- Zero to hunt him. Rightfully, fearing for the safety of his family, Cole sets out to find a special forces major who carries the same strange dragon as Cole.

Soon he finds himself in the temple of Lord Raiden, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole prepares to take on Earth’s greatest champions against enemies of Outworld in a high-risk battle across the universe. But will Cole be under enough pressure to unlock his arcane – the immense power in his soul – in time to save his family and stop Outworld?

Simon McQuoid directs Mortal Kombat from a screenplay by Greg Russo.

The film stars Joe Taslim (Sub Zero), Ludi Lin (Liu Kang), Jessica McNamee (Sonya Blade), Mehcad Brroks (Jax), Josh Lawson (Kano), Chin Han (Shang Tsung), Hiroyuki Sanada (Scorpion), Tadanobu Asano (Raiden), and Sisi Stringer (Mileena).

The MPAA slapped the new movie will a very much appreciated R-rating. It’s for strong bloody violence and language throughout and some crude references.
