Hassled by the school bullies, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) has his share of adolescent woes. Luckily, his apartment building houses a resident martial arts master: Kesuke Miyagi (Pat Morita), who agrees to train Daniel ... and ends up teaching him much more than self-defense. Armed with newfound confidence, skill, and wisdom, Daniel ultimately faces off against his tormentors in this hugely popular classic underdog tale.
