Taken in and raised by a tribe of gorillas, the young boy strives for acceptance by his ape father while grappling with his uniqueness. When a human expedition enters their territory, Tarzan – now a man – encounters strangers like himself for the first time. Tarzan features music and lyrics by pop icon Phil Collins including the Grammy and Oscar winning song, “You’ll Be in My Heart”.
