He returns to the African jungle where he grew up following a false invitation, orchestrated by the Belgian King’s right-hand man, Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz), who has plans to offer Tarzan to the Chief Mbonga (Djimon Hounsou) in exchange for diamonds.

This version of Tarzan is set in the late 1800s, at the beginning of the Belgian King Leopold II’s colonisation of the Congo.
