Based on the popular video game, this action-packed adventure pits Colonel William Guile (Van Damme), the Allied Nations commando leader, against the diabolical General Bison (Raul Julia). Ryu, Chun-Li, Sagat, and other combatants from the popular video game "Street Fighter II" come to life in all their kickboxing glory. Gen. Bison, the villainous ruler of Shadaloo, is holding over 60 relief workers hostage. When the Allied Nations forces, led by handsome redhead Col. Guile, decide to pay Bison a ransom instead of overthrowing him, Guile objects, and is fired. Never one to take things lightly, Guile rounds up a multi-cultural band of expert "street fighters", including Kylie Minogue’s Officer Cammy, and sets out to defeat the nefarious Bison. A high-kicking, futuristic, martial arts battle for the fate of the Earth, Raul Julia’s final performance.
