Dragon traces martial arts superstar Lee's life from his Hong Kong childhood to international success and early, mysterious death. Born in San Francisco while his father, an actor was on tour, E3 Bruce (played by Jason Scott Lee) returns as a young man. He works as a dishwasher/delivery boy, goes to college and begins giving kung-fu lessons leavened with philosophy. At the urging of his E7 beautiful, white girlfriend Linda (played by Lauren Holly) - they date despite widespread disapproval - he opens a kung-fu school. They marry and Bruce is cast as sidekick Kato in 'The Green Hornet', but he moves his family to Hong Kong after he's passed over in favor of white actor David Carradine for the Kung Fu tv series (personally I like Carradine's E9 movie aura more suitable to a Chinese monk), which he helped to develop as a starring vehicle for himself. However with ENTER THE DRAGON, a Hollywood picture shot in Hong Kong, Bruce is poised for international success, but fate intervenes…
