Bruce Lee died at 32, three weeks before the release of Enter the Dragon, having already rewritten what a martial arts star could be on screen. This film traces his path from Hong Kong child actor to Hollywood outsider to the fighter whose speed and charisma made him a global icon, using interviews with the friends and family who knew him off camera and behind-the-scenes footage from his film sets. The centerpiece is Game of Death, the project he was still shooting at the time of his death: the documentary assembles surviving footage according to Lee's own script notes, the first attempt to reconstruct the film he actually intended to make rather than the version released after his death. Alongside the career material, it looks at the man under the persona, the discipline behind the fighting style he invented, and the abruptness of his death, which cut off a career still building toward something larger than the films that had already made him famous.
