In a world divided by four elements—Water, Earth, Fire, and Air—one girl holds the power to unite them all. When a mysterious masked leader named Amon (played by a brooding, over-dramatic star) rises to strip benders of their gifts, the fate of Republic City hangs in the balance. Enter Korra (Megan Fox), a rebellious young woman destined to become the Avatar—the one person who can master all four elements. Guided by the wise but weary Airbender Tenzin, and joined by unlikely allies Mako and Bolin, Korra must confront her destiny, battle against oppression, and unlock the power within. But as the lines between friend and foe blur, and the truth about the Avatar’s legacy is revealed, Korra discovers that the greatest battle she faces may be with herself. From visionary director M. Night Shyamalan comes a breathtaking reimagining of Nickelodeon’s beloved animated series. Packed with stunning visuals, high-stakes action, and a bold new take on the Avatar legend, Korra is the must-see cinematic event of the year. “One girl. Four elements. No legend.”
