    A martial arts master agrees to teach a bullied boy karate and shows him that there is more to the martial art than fighting in the 80s classic THE KARATE KID. Newly arrived in California from New Jersey, teenager Daniel (Ralph Macchio) almost immediately runs afoul of karate-trained high school bullies. He is rescued by Japanese janitor Miyagi, played by Noriyuki "Pat" Morita, who agrees to teach Daniel how to harness karate for good instead of brutality. The film culminates in a championship karate bout, pitting Daniel against his sworn enemy Johnny -- the cruel and thuggish boyfriend of Daniel's crush Ali.
