Lee intended the film to be a profound exploration of Eastern philosophy and martial arts and wanted to introduce the western audiences to the intellectual depths and intricacies of eastern philosophy and values and what it truly means to go beyond one’s own mastery of an art. The film is about a young martial artist who seeks to find the ultimate truth and meaning of martial arts.
