Plot:
Earthrealm faces its darkest hour as the tyrannical Shao Kahn moves to seize control of the realms, threatening the existence of everything its champions hold dear. Hollywood hotshot martial artist Johnny Cage joins a formidable ensemble of fighters — including the ever-burning rivalry between Hanzo Hasashi and Bi-Han — in a no-holds-barred tournament where the fate of the world hangs in the balance. From director Simon McQuoid and writer Jeremy Slater, Mortal Kombat II promises bigger battles, bloodier finishes, and a war that will shatter realms.
