Bruce Lee, My Brother is an action-dramatic biopic of the eponymous martial arts legend as told by his younger brother, Robert Lee. It revolves around Bruce Lee's life as a rebellious adolescent in Hong Kong before he sets off for the USA and conquers the world at the age of 18 with only US$100 in his pocket. As a young man, Bruce was a rebel who was always engaging in street fights with his buddies, Kong and Unicorn, a fellow child actor who would later appear in Fist of Fury and Way of the Dragon. Invincible as he is as a street fighter, Bruce's romantic escapades are not as smooth and successful. He is head over heels in love with Mandy only to realize his mate Kong shares the same passion. Against his father's wishes, Bruce studies the Wing Chun martial arts style instead of Tai-chi and tastes his first public triumph at a tournament with his kung-fu skills. On the eve of his triumph, he learns that Kong has become a drug addict and rumbles the drug lord's den together with Unicorn, rendering him the target of both the triads and corrupted cops who want him in jail. To save his life, Lee's father has no choice but to send him off to San Francisco to pursue his studies. And the rest is history...
