Hugh Hudson directs this action adventure based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel. Christopher Lambert stars as Tarzan of Greystoke, who as an infant was orphaned on the west coast of Africa following a shipwreck, and was rescued and brought up by a family of apes. 20 years later, Belgian explorer Capitaine Phillippe D'Arnot (Ian Holm) encounters the man who has now become Tarzan, Lord of the Apes when the ape-man rescues him from a terrible death. When D'Arnot finds evidence to prove that Tarzan is the direct descendant of the Earl of Greystoke, he takes it upon himself to return the man to civilization. However, Edwardian England is very different to the wilds of the African jungle, and Tarzan finds himself torn between two irreconcilable worlds. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
