Synopsis/Details
In 1914 Africa, John Clayton, AKA Tarzan, is (too) settled on a ranch with Jane, his son Jack and his girlfriend Meriem. Until the German Army, intent on empire, destroys the ranch, slaughters locals, and kidnaps Jane. Left for dead, Tarzan unites a ragtag army of Waziri, Jack’s British Cavalry, white and black and Indian farmers, then elephants and lions to hound the Huns. Bridges collapse, trains derail, biplanes battle, and a zeppelin explodes before the army is crushed in eerie ancient Opar. Yet Tarzan’s greatest danger is his own savage nature that may cost him everything he loves...
