Acting as a parody of other jungle-living characters like Tarzan, George of the Jungle is a wild comedy that sees Brendan Fraser as the titular George, a man who has lived his life raised by animals in the African jungle. As poachers find themselves entering the jungle in search of its resources, it becomes up to George to defend the jungle from all who plan to destroy it. Things soon get complicated when George ends up falling for Ursula (Leslie Mann), an heiress from San Francisco who is already set to marry a spoiled man named Lyle van de Groot.
