Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie

1999 · 100 min

A brisk, brooding martial-arts anime with flashy fights and a hero wrestling his inner darkness, easy to watch but emotionally earnest.

Overview: Increasingly disturbed by the dark energies building within him, Ryu is confronted by Shun, a boy claiming to be the brother he never knew. But before Ryu can consider whether Shun's timely appearance might be more than coincidental, Shun is kidnapped by Shadowlaw. To recover Shun, Ryu must undertake the ultimate journey of self-discovery and learn to control the power threatening to consume him.
