An inspirational biographical drama that traces Bruce Lee's rise from disciplined martial artist to Hollywood icon, balancing his personal struggles and triumphs with action-driven sequences.

This film is a glimpse into the life, love and the unconquerable spirit of the legendary Bruce Lee. From a childhood of rigorous martial arts training, Lee realizes his dream of opening his own kung-fu school in America. Before long, he is discovered by a Hollywood producer and begins a meteoric rise to fame and an all too short reign as one the most charismatic action heroes in cinema history.
