Tai-Pan (1966/32 hours): It is the early 19th century, when European
traders and adventurers first begin to penetrate the forbidding Chinese
mainland. And it is in this exciting time and exotic place that a giant
of an Englishman, Dirk Struan, sets out to turn the desolate island of
Hong Kong into an impregnable fortress of British power - and to make
himself supreme ruler: Tai-Pan!
