The Karate Kid: 40th Anniversary Edition | 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray (Sony)
RELEASE DATE: June 18, 2024
On June 18, 2024, Sony Home Entertainment is releasing 1984’s The Karate Kid on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray, in a special 40th Anniversary Edition that includes all-new features.
Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the coming-of-age classic — 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.
