Mortal Kombat is a martial arts tournament that is held once every generation between representatives of the realms of Earth and Outworld, conceived by the Elder Gods amid looming invasion of the Earth by Outworld. The follow-ups were unable to match the original film's success, and the series was rebooted with a 2021 film. Mortal Kombat was followed by a 1997 sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, along with two television series: the animated sequel Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm (1996) and the live-action prequel Mortal Kombat: Conquest (1998–1999). It was also a commercial success, grossing $122 million on an $20 million budget. Despite the mixed critical response, the film was well-received by fans of the series. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the martial art sequences, atmosphere, and production values, but criticized the performances, script, and toned-down violence from the games. The film premiered in the United States on August 18, 1995. Its story primarily adapts the original 1992 game, while also using elements from the game Mortal Kombat II (1993).

Starring Linden Ashby, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Robin Shou, Bridgette Wilson, Talisa Soto, and Christopher Lambert, the film follows a group of heroes who participate in the eponymous Mortal Kombat tournament to protect Earth from being conquered by malevolent forces. Based on the video game franchise of the same name, it is the first installment in the Mortal Kombat film series.
