In a dystopian future, General M. Bison, a ruthless dictator, has taken sixty-three Allied Nations hostages, demanding a ransom of $20 billion to save their lives. His megalomaniac ambitions are to fund his dream of creating a new world order, where he will rule as its supreme leader. The United Nations, powerless to stop Bison through conventional means, opts for a desperate measure. They commission Colonel William F. Guile, one of their finest officers, to lead a covert team to infiltrate Bison's fortress and rescue the hostages. Guile's personal vendetta against Bison, stemming from the death of his best friend at the hands of the dictator, drives him to accept the mission, promising to bring Bison to justice.

Guile's team comprises an eclectic mix of fighters, each with their own reasons for joining the fight against Bison. Among them are Ryu and Ken, two street fighters who seek redemption and a chance to prove their worth; Chun-Li, a reporter who wants revenge against Bison for her father's murder; and Cammy, Guile’s intelligence officer and right-hand woman. As they prepare for the mission, they must overcome their differences and learn to work together to infiltrate Bison's heavily fortified lair. With time running out and the life of the hostages hanging in the balance, Guile and his makeshift team of fighters must confront Bison's formidable forces in a desperate bid to stop his reign of terror before it's too late.
