Acclaimed as the first Chinese martial arts movie ever produced by a major Hollywood studio and one of the most beloved Kung Fu films of all time, Enter the Dragon catapulted Bruce Lee to international superstardom. Shot in 1973 and released six days after Lee's untimely death, Enter the Dragon follows Lee as a martial arts expert turned undercover operative who is tasked with infiltrating a dangerous drug operation that is cloaked as a martial arts competition. Fast-paced and action-packed, Enter the Dragon iconically captures Bruce Lee as the martial arts phenomenon we celebrate today. The film is directed by Robert Clouse and features a screenplay by Michael Allin.

Enter the Dragon will be introduced by veteran movie and television producer and martial arts practitioner Warrington Hudlin.

Winner of 3 Leo Awards, I Am Bruce Lee is a compelling documentary covering Bruce's life, his enormous impact, and his ever-expanding legacy. I Am Bruce Lee features interviews with people who knew Lee intimately, including a broad array of international icons from the entertainment and athletic fields - people whose lives, careers and belief systems have been forever altered by the legend UFC President Dana White calls the "Father of Mixed Martial Arts".
