Produced by Sy Weintraub, the 1966 series was part of a "new look" for Tarzan that focused on realism and intelligence.
The story begins with a choice. Unlike previous versions where Tarzan was a primitive feral child, this Tarzan—John Clayton, Lord Greystoke—had already seen the "civilized" world. He was well-educated, spoke multiple languages, and possessed the refined manners of British royalty. But he found the modern world hollow and corrupt. Disgusted by the greed of man, he chose to return to the African jungle where he was raised, not as a victim of fate, but as a guardian of the wild.
