Plot Synopsis

Set in 1993, Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) have gone their separate ways after years of fighting side by side.

Their lives are turned upside down when the enigmatic Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them to compete in the latest World Warrior Tournament, a brutal global competition where only the strongest fighters survive.

As the tournament unfolds, Ryu and Ken discover that the battles are merely the surface of a far more dangerous conspiracy orchestrated by powerful enemies. Forced to confront one another while battling the ghosts of their past, the two warriors must decide whether they can stand together before the world falls into chaos.
