The Karate Kid (1984)

He taught him the secret to karate lies in the mind and heart. Not in the hands.

When New Jersey teen Daniel LaRusso moves to Los Angeles with his mother, he quickly forms a connection with Ali—but also becomes the target of a group of bullies led by Ali’s ex-boyfriend, Johnny, who trains at the ruthless Cobra Kai dojo under sensei John Kreese. Luckily, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi, a humble repairman with hidden martial arts mastery. Under Miyagi’s guidance, Daniel learns a compassionate style of karate for self-defense, eventually preparing him to face the formidable Cobra Kai in a high-stakes showdown.
