Shot in Pak Chong in Thailand, Bruce Lee introduced his magnetic charisma and groundbreaking fight choreography to the world with The Big Boss. This seminal classic of martial arts cinema has been seen and enjoyed by audiences all over the world, and was instrumental in creating the timeless Legend that is Bruce Lee.

In an emotive, roller coaster storyline of friendship, betrayal, revenge and deadly confrontation, Lee plays Cheng, a migrant worker who travels to Thailand in search of work.  He meets a group of Chinese workers and starts to work with them at the local ice packing factory.  Mysteriously, members of the group start to disappear, which leads to workers demanding an explanation for the disappearance of their colleagues. Whilst investigating the disappearances, Cheng breaks open a drug-trafficking ring with his fists of steel. In his quest for justice and revenge, Lee is an unstoppable force of nature, breaking wave after wave of opponents with powerful hand combinations and lightning fast precision kicking.
