New Jersey teen Daniel LaRusso 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, 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. Wikipedia ↗

The Karate Kid is a 1984 American martial arts drama directed by John G. Avildsen. When Daniel befriends Mr.

Miyagi, played by Pat Morita, the elderly, unassuming Okinawan maintenance man at his apartment complex, he discovers that Miyagi is a karate master whose patient, philosophical approach — teaching through chores like "wax on, wax off," painting fences, and sanding floors — embeds martial arts fundamentals through muscle memory. Pat Morita's performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and Mr. Miyagi became one of cinema's most beloved mentor figures — a man whose gentle humor, quiet wisdom, and devastating combat ability made him an ideal father figure for the fatherless Daniel.

The crane kick, performed by Daniel to win the All-Valley Karate Tournament, became one of the most iconic moments in 1980s cinema. The Karate Kid earned $91 million worldwide on a $8 million budget.
