In Bruce Lee’s first major screen role that propelled him to international stardom, a young Chinese man moves to Thailand to work at an ice factory. Swore to an oath of non-violence, he is put to the test when he discovers the criminal activity of his employer.

When former child actor and Hollywood TV sidekick Bruce Lee returned to his native Hong Kong in 1971 to star in two films for fledgling company Golden Harvest, movie history was made thanks to one of the most iconic partnerships between star and studio that cinema has ever seen. In only a handful of films, Lee high-kicked his way into audiences’ imaginations forever, thanks to his blistering screen presence and his masterful ‘Jeet Kune Do’ fighting technique.

50 years on from his untimely death aged just 32, Showroom celebrates his short but highly influential career with a series of stunning new 4K restorations.
