Tarzan struggles to navigate a jungle, thick with emotion, as he discovers his animal upbringing clashing with his human instincts. When he meets up with the beautiful human woman, Jane, his world becomes stranger and yet, more familiar. Protecting his family, and his new found humanity becomes the struggle for both Jane and Tarzan against Clayton, a poacher who aims to hunt down and destroy everything Tarzan loves.
