About the Film

Enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament

Set in 2039, after devastating world wars have left society under the control of powerful corporations, Tekken follows Jin Kazama, a young fighter from the impoverished Anvil district. When Tekken’s forces attack his home and his mother Jun is killed, Jin vows revenge against the Mishima empire. His path leads into the King of Iron Fist Tournament, a high-profile martial arts contest controlled by Heihachi Mishima. As Jin battles elite opponents, he uncovers secrets surrounding his family, the tournament and the corporation’s grip on the remaining world. The film adapts Namco’s fighting-game franchise as a live-action science-fiction martial arts story.
