Released in 1984, The Karate Kid became
a cultural phenomenon and introduced audiences to Daniel LaRusso, a scrappy New
Jersey teenager who moves to Los Angeles with his mother, and soon strikes up a
relationship with Ali. He quickly finds himself the target of bullying by a
group of thugs, led by Ali's ex-boyfriend Johnny, who study karate at the Cobra
Kai dojo under ruthless sensei John Kreese. Fortunately, Daniel befriends Mr.
Miyagi (Pat Morita), an unassuming repairman who just happens to be a
martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, training him
in a more compassionate form of karate for self-defense and, later, preparing
him to compete against the brutal Cobra Kai. (USA, 1984, 127 mins, PG,
English, Dir. John G. Avildsen)
More recently, Macchio has returned to the role that made
him famous in the hit series Cobra Kai, and the film Karate
Kid: Legends, bringing the story of Daniel LaRusso to a new generation
of audiences. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience The Karate
Kid on the big screen and with an introduction by Ralph Macchio
himself!
