Mortal Kombat is a movie about good versus evil. There is a battle of mortal combat that takes place every 10,000 years, and for the past nine combat events, the evil sorcerer Shang Sun has won. If he wins this time he will take over the world as we know it and it will become like the outer-world, a land of evil. The inner-world has only one chance of winning and that is with the combined efforts of three young individuals, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, and Liu Kang, all experts in martial arts. They must defeat all the opponents at the mortal combat event and one out of the three of them must defeat the great sorcerer himself. The battles begin with the three fighting strange and powerful creatures from the underworld of evil. Kang battles with a Reptile looking creature that morphs into a gargoyle. While Johnny fights off a robot with the ability to freeze people, Sonya defeats another type of robotic creature. In the end Shang Sun is vanquished by Kang and the outer world is released from Shang's 10,000 year rein of evil.
