Mortal Kombat
When a deadly interdimensional tournament threatens Earth’s survival after nine straight defeats, Shaolin monk Liu Kang, Hollywood star Johnny Cage, and Special Forces officer Sonya Blade must win the final bout against Shang Tsung’s forces or face an Outworld invasion.
“Nothing in this world has prepared you for this.”
Synopsis
For nine generations, an evil sorcerer has emerged victorious in direct combat against his mortal enemies. Should he win a tenth Mortal Kombat tournament, desolation and evil will spread across the multiverse. To protect Earth, three warriors must overcome great challenges, their own inner demons, and powerful adversaries.

A crew of 41+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 6.8× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
