Karate Kid, The

12-year-old Dre Parker could’ve been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother’s latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate, Mei Ying, and the feeling is mutual, but cultural differences make such a friendship difficult. Even worse, Dre’s feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts “the karate kid” on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but to maintenance man Mr. Han, who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Dre learns that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and discipline, Han will help him take on the fight of his life.
