The Iconic Fan Favorite, “The Karate Kid,” Lands On 4K Ultra HD™ On June 18 In Celebration Of Its 40th Anniversary

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the coming-of-age classic, “The Karate Kid” — from Academy Award®-winning director John G. Avildsen (1976, “Rocky”) — that will leave you cheering! There is more to karate than fighting. This is the lesson that Daniel (Ralph Macchio), a San Fernando Valley teenager, is about to learn from a most unexpected teacher: Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki “Pat” Morita in his Academy Award®-nominated performance, Best Supporting Actor, 1984), an elderly handyman who also happens to be a master of the martial arts. His training and these vital lessons will be called into play when an outmatched Daniel faces Johnny (William Zabka), the skilled leader of the Cobra Kai — a vicious gang of karate school bullies — in a no-holds-barred karate tournament for the championship of the Valley.
