Here's how the movie is described:
"Based on the worldwide hit game created by Ed Boon and John Tobias, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge spotlights the once-in-a-generation tournament between the champions of Outworld and Earthrealm -- a competition that will ultimately determine the fate of Earth and all its citizens. Lord Raiden, protector of Earthrealm, must gather the greatest fighters of his realm to defend it from the evil Shang Tsung in the battle to end all battles - Mortal Kombat!"
The film arrives from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on digital starting April 12, and on 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD on April 28.
