It is the year 2039. The world wars have destroyed everything, and territories are led by corporations, of which the most powerful - and cruel - are Tekken. Jin Kazama (John Foo) witnesses the death of his mother Jun (Tomita) by Tekken in the slums known as Anvil. He takes his revenge and only arms himself with his street smarts and his rough martial arts. He enters a dangerous and potentially fatal combat tournament in which he must defeat the elite fighters of the world to become the "King of the Iron Fist".
