Synopsis

Before Bruce Lee became an international film star he was a boy growing up in Hong Kong in the '40s and '50s who loved to read, play practical jokes and get into trouble on the street. In Hong Kong, martial arts were as popular as baseball was in the United States. Bruce studied martial arts under the watchful eye of Yip Man, the best martial arts master in Hong Kong. At first Bruce's interest was motivated purely by his desire to win street fights, but he soon discovered that he was really being taught another lesson. Bruce Lee soon became a pioneer of martial arts and an icon.
