At Stream Tracker, we take a quick look at The Karate Kid (1984) — the coming‑of‑age, dojo‑set classic where Daniel LaRusso learns “wax on, wax off” from the wise Mr. Miyagi and faces the Cobra Kai in a fight for respect (yes, including that famous crane kick). A staple of 80s pop culture, the film earned critical recognition and award nominations, including nods at the Academy Awards. In this article we’ll tell you whether you can stream Daniel’s journey on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+ and where to catch the movie right now.

Synopsis

A teen named Daniel LaRusso moves to Los Angeles with his mother and quickly falls for a local girl, Ali, only to become the target of a violent clique led by her ex, Johnny — students at the ruthless Cobra Kai dojo run by the unforgiving sensei John Kreese. Unexpectedly, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi, a modest handyman who is secretly a master of martial arts; under Miyagi’s calm, disciplined tutelage he learns a defensive, principled form of karate and is prepared to stand up to Cobra Kai in a high-stakes showdown.
