Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes

ActionAdventureDramaRomance143 min

After his aristocratic parents die in the African jungle, a boy is raised by apes and grows into a man who belongs more to the wild than to any human world. Years later, explorers from England discover him and bring him back to the family estate he never knew he had. There he is recast as an heir, taught manners, dress, and speech, and pushed toward a life built on rules he does not understand. As he struggles between instinct and expectation, Jane Porter, played by Andie MacDowell, becomes one of the few people he can reach. Christopher Lambert stars in a Tarzan story centered on identity, exile, and the cost of being claimed by civilization.
