Directed by The Adjustment Bureau‘s George Nolfi and written by Academy Award nominees Christopher Wilkinson and Stephen J. Rivele (Nixon, Ali), Birth of the Dragon tells the story behind the legendary 1960s fight between Shaolin Master Wong Jack Man and a young Bruce Lee.
Set against the backdrop of 1960s San Francisco, Birth of the Dragon is a modern take on the classic movies that Bruce Lee was known for.
It takes its inspiration from the epic and still controversial showdown between an up-and-coming Bruce Lee and kung fu master Wong Jack Man – a battle that gave birth to a legend.
