Cole Young (Lewis Tan), an MMA fighter used to taking a beating for money, has no idea who he is or why Outworld’s Emperor Shang Tsung (Chin Han) has dispatched his best warrior, Sub-Zero (Joe Taslim), an otherworldly Cryomancer, to track him down. Fearing for his family’s survival, Cole seeks out Sonya Blade (Jessica McNamee) with the help of Jax (Mehcad Brooks), a Special Forces Major who shares Cole’s unusual dragon marking. Soon after, he arrives at the temple of Lord Raiden (Tadanobu Asano), an Elder God and Earthrealm’s protector, who provides sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Cole trains with seasoned warriors Liu Kang (Ludi Lin), Kung Lao (Max Huang), and rogue mercenary Kano (Josh Lawson) as he prepares to face the enemies of Outworld in a high-stakes fight for the cosmos. Will Cole be pushed far enough to unleash his arcana—the immense force hidden deep inside his soul—in time to save not only his kin but also to put an end to Outworld for good?
