The story follows Jane Porter and her expedition as they travel through the African wild. When Jane becomes lost, she is discovered by the "Ape Man" (Siffredi), leading to a series of erotic encounters that explore Tarzan’s discovery of human sexuality. Eventually, the plot shifts from the jungle back to civilization as Jane attempts to bring Tarzan to Britain.
Tarzan-X is often cited by reviewers on platforms like Letterboxd as a "cult classic" because of its romantic tone and surprisingly earnest storytelling compared to standard adult fare.
The film was shot entirely on location in Kenya , providing a lush, authentic backdrop that sets it apart from studio-bound productions.
The estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs reportedly attempted to sue the production over the use of the Tarzan character, though the lawsuit ultimately failed.
