In 1930s New York City, the mysterious crime-fighting vigilante known as The Shadow (Alec Baldwin) takes on his most dangerous enemy yet: Shiwan Khan (John Lone), the last descendant of Genghis Khan. Khan holds the city hostage with a powerful atom bomb, threatening to destroy it unless his demands are met. As The Shadow works to stop Khan, he must navigate a complex web of alliances and rivalries among the city's criminal underworld and find a way to defeat Khan's sinister plan. With the help of his loyal agents and his ability to control the minds of others, The Shadow must use all his strength and cunning to save the city from destruction. But as he battles Khan, he must also confront his own dark past and the secrets of his mystical powers.
