🔥 Plot Summary:

This reboot begins with a haunting prologue set in 17th-century Japan, where Hanzo Hasashi’s family is slaughtered by Lin Kuei assassin Bi‑Han, setting the stage for vengeance in the present day.

In the modern era, MMA fighter Cole Young discovers a dragon birthmark ties him to a prophecy: Earthrealm must win the 10th Mortal Kombat tournament or face annihilation by Outworld. Predator Sub‑Zero targets Cole and his family, prompting Special Forces Major Jax to take action. Their path leads to Sonya Blade and a secret resistance guided by Raiden, the thunder god.

The recruits—Cole, Sonya, Jax, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao—train in arcana powers under Raiden’s watchful eye. Judging the threat, Outworld’s sorcerer Shang Tsung sends his champions (Kano, Kabal, Mileena, Nitara) to sabotage Earthrealm’s training and strike preemptively.

In a seismic clash at Raiden’s temple, Cole unlocks his arcana, Jax gains powered arms, and Sonya acquires her signature energy blasts. Their triumph over Goro and others sets up the final showdown with Sub-Zero, which ends with Cole freeing Scorpion, Hanzo’s vengeful spirit, to defeat his nemesis and rescue Cole’s family.

As Raiden reveals Shang Tsung’s ominous warning, Earthrealm’s champions must prepare for the full-scale tournament. The film ends on a tease: Johnny Cage enters the fray in Hollywood—setting up future battles.
