Bruce Lee's 'Warrior': Release date, cast, plot and everything you need to know about Cinemax show

'Warrior' is set in Chinatown in the late 1800s and follows the Tong Wars — a series of violent disputes among rival Chinese tong factions in various American cities

When it comes to martial arts and the cultural richness of the East, no one has been a more appropriate and sophisticated harbinger than Bruce Lee. Born on November 27, 1940 at the Jackson Street Hospital in San Francisco's Chinatown, in the hour and the year of the Dragon, according to the Chinese zodiac, Bruce Lee's legacy is one of its kind.

Cinemax is now set to back the glory days of martial arts. Its upcoming 10-part series 'Warrior', which is based on Lee's writings, is a tribute to the man who not only brought martial arts to the common American household, and retained its authenticity even when it was simultaneously being popularized and vulgarized through cinema. 

Ahead of the show's premiere on Cinemax, here's everything you need to know:
