Jin has been raised and trained by his mother, Jun, who never speaks of Jin's father, claiming he is dead. In a slum area surrounding Tekken City called the Anvil, lives the rebellious young man Jin Kazama, who makes money as a contraband runner for resistance groups that fight against the Tekken Corporation. In order to placate the masses, the corporation's Chairman, Heihachi Mishima, sponsors the King of Iron Fist Tournament, or Iron Fist - in which fighters from the 8 corporations battle until one is left standing and receives a lifetime of stardom and wealth. In the late 2010s, 8 megacorporations divide up the world around them the biggest being Tekken Corporation, which controls North America. Nevertheless, Tekken spawned the 2014 prequel Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge. The criticism also came from the video game series' executive director Katsuhiro Harada.

Critical reception was unfavorable, with the film generally praised for its fighting scenes, but criticized for its unfaithful narrative and poor acting within the main cast. The film grossed $1.6 million worldwide, making it a box office flop. Tekken premiered at the American Film Market on November 5, 2009, and was released direct-to-video in the United States on July 19, 2011, by Anchor Bay Entertainment. This also led to the inclusion of martial artists as the main cast to produce well-choreographed battles. Experienced in sports movies, Little decided to make Tekken focused on realism, resulting in the removal of supernatural elements from the video game series as well as comic relief characters. The film was originally announced by publisher Namco Bandai in 2002, but did not start development until 2007. The plot follows Jin Kazama in his attempts to enter the Iron Fist Tournament in order to avenge the loss of his mother, Jun Kazama, by confronting the forces of the city that are also holding the competition. The film stars Jon Foo, Kelly Overton, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Ian Anthony Dale, Cung Le, Darrin Dewitt Henson, Candice Hillebrand, and Luke Goss.
