Plot Summary

Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, is living a peaceful life in the jungle with Jane.

Tarzan finds himself in conflict with the greedy prospectors who will stop at nothing to find the treasure, even if it means endangering the lives of the local tribes and Jane.

Critical Reception

Tarzan's Savage Fury is generally considered a mid-tier entry in the long-running Tarzan film series. While it features a capable Lex Barker in the title role and a decent jungle adventure plot, it doesn't break significant new ground. The film offers standard action sequences and a familiar narrative arc typical of the era's jungle adventures. Audience reception was generally positive for fans of the character, though critics found it to be formulaic.
