As such, Resurrection 'F was officially considered to be part of the Dragon Ball canon. The film's plot depicts the return of the villain Frieza, who after his resurrection via the eponymous Dragon Balls, goes into extensive training so that he can exact his revenge on the Saiyans.

The film received a worldwide release, both in Japan and through international dubbed versions. Funimation's English dub of the film received a limited release in North American theaters between August 4 through August 13, 2015. Madman Entertainment released the film in Australian theaters on August 6, where it ran through until August 19, 2015. Manga Entertainment acquired the rights for the release in the United Kingdom in September 2015. The film received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising the quality of animation and the fast-paced action sequences, while criticizing the plot.

The film was later adapted into the second story arc of Dragon Ball Super, with the addition of extra scenes and subplots set before its events.
