From visionary filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan comes a live-action reimagining of The Legend of Korra. Seventy years after Avatar Aang brought peace to the world, a new Avatar has emerged. Headstrong and fearless, Korra (Megan Fox) leaves her home in the Southern Water Tribe to master airbending under Tenzin in the bustling metropolis of Republic City. But the city is on the brink of collapse as a mysterious revolutionary known as Amon (Colin Farrell) leads the Equalists, a movement determined to end bending forever. As Korra struggles to understand her role as the Avatar, she forms an unlikely team with brothers Mako (Adam Bakri) and Bolin (Fady Elsayed), while brilliant engineer Asami Sato (Sheila Vand) finds herself torn between loyalty to her father, industrialist Hiroshi Sato (Oded Fehr), and the friends fighting to save the city. Meanwhile, the ambitious Councilman Tarrlok (Jason Momoa) wages his own campaign against the Equalists, forcing Korra to question who the true enemy really is. With Republic City's future hanging in the balance, Korra must confront powerful secrets, political corruption, and a revolution that threatens to change the world forever. As ancient traditions collide with modern ideals, the Avatar will discover that true strength comes not only from mastering the elements—but from choosing the path that will unite a divided world.
