Heres the run down of the movie:
Once every generation, there is a

tournament known as Mortal Kombat,

which was designed by the Elder Gods

for the main purpose to save Earthrealm

from the dark forces of Outworld. If the

forces of Outworld win the tournament

ten consecutive times, the Emperor will

be able to invade and conquer

Earthrealm. Thus far, Outworld has won

nine straight victories, making the

upcoming tournament the tenth, and

possibly final one, for Earthrealm. The

former Shaolin monk Liu Kang and his

comrades, Hollywood movie star Johnny

Cage and Special Forces agent Sonya

Blade, among others, must risk their lives

and overcome their powerful adversaries

in order to win the tenth Mortal Kombat

tournament, or condemn Earthrealm to

eternal damnation.

Although each combatant was handpicked

by Raiden to compete in Mortal Kombat,

each has his or her own reason for

competing in the tournament. Liu Kang

seeks to avenge the death of his younger

brother Chan, who was killed by Shang

Tsung in battle. Sonya Blade is after

notorious and cold blooded killer Kano,

who is responsible for the death of her

partner before Jax. Johnny Cage is

competing to prove that he is a true

martial artist, and not the fake that the

tabloids has made him out to be.

Regardless of their individual agendas,

they have been recruited and sent to a

pier in Hong Kong, where they will be

taken to Shang Tsung’s island, the site

of the tournament. While they are on the

boat, they encounter Shang Tsung’s

henchmen, Sub-Zero and Scorpion, bitter

rivals who are under the sorcerer’s mind

control. Before any pre-tournament

fisticuffs can take place, however,

Raiden, God of Thunder, intervenes with

two lightning bolts, then takes his chosen

three aside and explains to them just

what they are up against.

Upon their arrival at the island, the Earth

Warriors are welcomed by Shang Tsung

and the first rounds of the tournament

begin the next day. Behind the scenes,

however, Shang Tsung expresses his

concern to the Mortal Kombat champion,

Goro, that Liu Kang is competing in the

tournament and that the Emperor’s

daughter, Princess Kitana, may betray

them by allying with him. Despite their

concerns, The Outworld warriors draw

first blood, with Shang Tsung absorbing

the souls of the losing Earthrealm

warriors. After that, Johnny Cage, Sonya,

and Liu Kang go on to post victories over

Scorpion, Kano, and Sub-Zero,

respectively.

After these wins occurs the death of one

of their friends, Art Lean, at the hands of

Goro, in another tournament battle.

Cage, furious at the death of Lean, and

eager to protect his remaining friends

(especially Sonya), goes to Tsung and

challenges Goro. Tsung, both put off by

Cage’s arrogance and amused by his

courage, grants the request. Before

Johnny Cage faces off against Goro,

Shang Tsung makes the stipulation that,

at any time, he himself may choose to

challenge any one warrior at a venue of

his choosing. Although Raiden appears

and expresses outrage and shock at

Cage seemingly running head first into a

conflict with an almost unbeatable

opponent, he amusingly (once Cage

leaves) expresses pride that one of his

fighters has finally learned to take fate in

their own hands. Johnny Cage defeats

Goro, sending him falling over the edge

of a cliff. Shang Tsung then kidnaps

Sonya to Outworld, invoking his earlier

stipulation. Raiden explains to Liu Kang

and Johnny Cage that they must go into

Outworld without him, and, because

Sonya cannot defeat Shang Tsung in

combat, one of them must defeat Shang

Tsung. After Liu Kang successfully fends

off an attack from Reptile, he and Johnny

Cage are met by Kitana, who reveals the

truth about Outworld and her lineage,

thus confirming Shang Tsung’s suspicions

about her. The three, disguised as

monks, enter the castle tower where

Sonya is being held captive. As Kitana

and Johnny Cage free Sonya, Liu Kang

challenges Shang Tsung to Mortal

Kombat. The fiercely fought battle ends

in victory for Liu Kang and Earthrealm,

and the freedom of the souls of all the

warriors beaten in battle and absorbed by

Shang Tsung.

Liu Kang and Kitana happily stride arm in

arm back to Earthrealm alongside Johnny

Cage and Sonya, whose previous

animosity towards each other has given

way to a blossoming affection. Raiden

catches up to them and congratulates

them for their efforts in Mortal Kombat.

The celebration is cut short, however, by

the arrival of Shao Kahn, who threatens

the people of Earthrealm. Raiden and the

four warriors assume fighting stances as

the screen cuts to the credits.

 I loved this game, the movie was really

cool. The characters looked just like the

game, in this case MK used realistic

characters to make the game.
