The Karate Kid

“A challenge he never imagined. A teacher he never expected.”

Twelve-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) moves from Detroit to Beijing and immediately clashes with Cheng (Zac Wang), a local bully who humiliates him. Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), the maintenance man in their apartment building, offers to teach him kung fu instead of letting him fight back. Through training that feels less like combat and more like chores, Dre learns that real strength is knowing when not to.
