WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

It’s been years since the man known as Tarzan (Skarsgård), raised by gorillas in the jungles of Africa, left the place he’s known as home all his life and settled in to an aristocratic life as John Clayton III, along with his wife Jane (Robbie). He is invited to return to the Congo Free State as a trade emissary for the House of Commons, but when he discovers that he’s merely a pawn for corrupt Belgian Captain Léon Rom (Waltz), he must return to his animalistic existence in order to defeat him…
