Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes
What they share

What Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes is
Hugh Hudson gives it his all in this very serious take on Edgar Rice Burroughs. A shipwrecked couple's infant son is orphaned in the jungle and raised by apes. Twenty years later, a captain takes the feral man back to Scotland to claim his birthright. It's a jungle opera that swings for the fences.
