Tekken is a 2010 martial arts film directed by Dwight Little, based on the fighting game series of the same name.
In the year of 2039, after World Wars destroy much of civilization as we know it, territories are no longer run by governments but by corporations. The mightiest of which is the Mishima Zaibatsu. This corporation sponsors the King of Iron Fist Tournament or Tekken in which fighters battle until one is left standing, who in turn will receive a lifetime of stardom and wealth. We are introduced to this violent world through the eyes of Jin Kazama, a rebellious teenage street fighter who enters the tournament in order to avenge the death of his mother, Jun Kazama that he blames upon the Mishima Zaibatsu's most powerful and controlling chairman, Heihachi Mishima his own grandfather along with his father, Kazuya Mishima. He knows that the only way to get close enough to Mishima is to win the tournament but in doing so, he begins to uncover his own past and inner demons as well as exposing a dark underbelly to Tekken that threatens the very existence of humanity.
