Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story

In Hong Kong, Lee Hoi-chuen, Bruce Lee's father, experiences a haunting nightmare featuring a phantom known as the Demon. This terrifying dream propels him to take action to protect his son, Bruce.

Recognizing the potential threat, Hoi-chuen enrolls young Bruce in Chinese martial arts training under the esteemed instructor Yip Man. This decision marks the beginning of Bruce's journey into martial arts mastery.

As Bruce matures into a young adult, he bravely confronts a group of British sailors who are harassing a Chinese woman. This courageous act forces Bruce to make a life-changing decision to flee Hong Kong.

Following his father's insistence, Bruce escapes to the United States seeking refuge from the escalating turmoil in Hong Kong. This marks a significant turning point as he embarks on a new chapter in his life.

Upon arriving in the US, Bruce takes a job as a dishwasher in a Chinese restaurant. However, he soon finds himself embroiled in a brawl with four cooks, a confrontation that leads to his dismissal from the job.

Despite losing his job, restaurant owner Gussie Yang generously provides Bruce with a loan to pursue higher education. During his college years, Bruce dives into philosophy and begins teaching martial arts classes.

In his martial arts classes, Bruce meets Linda, an American woman who defies her racist mother to be with him. The couple's romance blossoms, culminating in their marriage despite societal pressures.

Amid growing tensions within the martial arts community, Bruce is challenged by his Chinese colleagues to restrict his teachings to only those of Chinese descent. In a fiery confrontation, he successfully fights Johnny Sun, asserting his beliefs.

After admitting defeat to Johnny, Bruce is attacked again, suffering a severe back injury that leads to temporary paralysis. During his recovery, Linda supports him, encouraging him to write his martial arts book, *Tao of Jeet Kune Do*.

Bruce and Linda welcome their son, Brandon, into the world, which brings them closer together as a family. During this period, they reconcile with Linda's mother, marking a moment of unity.

Months later, during a martial arts tournament hosted by Ed Parker, Johnny provokes Bruce for a rematch. Bruce triumphs, winning the audience's admiration, but is unaware that the fight will incapacitate Johnny.

Following his victory, Bill Krieger offers Bruce the role of Kato in the series *The Green Hornet*. They also brainstorm the idea for the television series *Kung Fu*, which ultimately casts a white actor instead.

Bruce returns to Hong Kong for his father's funeral, where producer Philip Tan hires him to star in *The Big Boss*. During filming, Bruce faces vengeance from Johnny's brother, Luke, in a climactic showdown.

The success of *The Big Boss* catapults Bruce to fame as an actor, director, writer, and editor. However, this newfound success creates tensions in his marriage as Linda wishes to return to the States.

On the 32nd day of filming *Enter the Dragon*, Bruce has a haunting vision of the Demon, symbolizing a threat to his son. Motivated by paternal instincts, he fights back within the film's narrative, breaking the Demon’s neck using Nunchaku.
