When General M. Bison takes high-ranking hostages and demands $20 billion in ransom, he pushes an already incendiary crisis to the brink of global conflict. Meanwhile, Colonel Guile's rescue mission remains stalled until the hostages' location can be determined. Guile and his British intelligence officer, Cammy, must recruit two unlikely heroes, small-time hustlers Ken Masters and Ryu Hoshi, in an audacious plan to locate the sadistic general's futuristic secret fortress. But their entire plan is nearly derailed at the last moment when GNT news correspondent Chun-Li Zang, who wants much more than a story, intervenes.
