The Karate Kid is a 1984 American martial arts drama film written and directed by John G. Avildsen. It is the first part of the Karate Kid franchise, with Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue, and William Zabka starring. Daniel LaRusso (Macchio) learns karate from Mr. Miyagi (Morita) to defend himself and compete in a tournament against his bullies, one of whom is Johnny Lawrence (Zabka), Ali Mills' ex-boyfriend.

After signing Columbia Pictures to direct the picture, Kamen was asked by the studio if he were interested in making a film similar to Avildsen's previous success Rocky (1976). When writing the film, he drew inspiration from his own life. As a consequence, he fought hard for Morita's inclusion and maintained strong views on casting.

The film began pre-production immediately after the script's final edit, and filming started on October 31, 1983. Between April and June 1983, the casting process for the film began. The movie was Matt Macchio's second major acting role since The Outsiders (1983).
