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.

Story Synopsis:
Based on the book “Bruce Lee: The Only Man I Knew,” by Linda Lee Caldwell, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story reveals the man behind the legend. This is a wonderful film about the awesome fighter, and his skill, romance and spiritual triumphs. While historically far from accurate, Dragon tells the story of Lee’s life the way audiences would like to believe it was.
