Lord Raiden handpicks three martial artists -- federal agent Sonya Blade, Shaolin monk Liu Kang and action movie sensation Johnny Cage -- and mentors them. After intense training, Raiden transports the trio to Outworld, the site of an inter-dimensional fighting tournament. There, the three humans must defeat the demonic warriors of the evil Shang Tsung -- or allow Tsung to take over the Earth.
