A coming-of-age tale, a young teen learns life's wisdom through karate from an eccentric mentor. With hard-earned determination and balance, he faces his fears, ultimately discovering strength, resilience, and the art of focusing his inner peace.
The iconic wax on, wax off training method was inspired by the real-life karate training techniques of martial arts legend Pat Morita, who played Mr. Miyagi.
The original title for The Karate Kid was The Kung Fu Kid before it was changed during production.
