Noriyuki "Pat" Morita and Oscar-winner, Hilary Swank, co-star in The Next Karate Kid, the story of a rebellious teenager, Julie, who blossoms with a little help from her friends - in this case the wise Mr. Miyagi and a trio of Buddhist monks! The action kicks into overdrive when Julie is pitted against a posse of paramilitary students who rule her high school. And while their leader teaches them to fight to kill, Julie and Miyagi teach them the secret of fighting to live.
