Mortal Kombat (2021)

Screenplay by: Greg Russo and Dave Callaham

When Mortal Kombat hit the arcades and video game systems in the 1990s, it was only a matter of time before its cultural impact would bleed into the movie industry. The first film was a moderate success at the time and even spawned a few sequels.

It would be nearly 20 years before Mortal Kombat tried to entice a new generation of gamers.
