Synopsis
The protagonist of the film is young Li Fong (Ben Wang), a kung fu prodigy who moves from Beijing to New York after a family tragedy.

The decisive test is the karate competition, for which the young fighter combines kung fu and karate styles under the guidance of two senshi, Mr. Han and Daniel LaRusso.
Authors
Karate Kid: Legends is directed by Jonathan Entwistle, written by Rob Lieber and produced by Karen Rosenfelt. The film features martial arts stars Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio, as well as young actors Ben Wang, Joshua Jackson, Sadie Stanley and Ming-Na Wen.
The original 1984 film The Karate Kid, starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita, became a cult favorite. It revealed the story of Daniel LaRusso, who, under the guidance of the wise Mr. Miyagi, overcame difficulties and became a karate champion. Subsequently, two sequels appeared, as well as a 2010 remake with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, which moved the events to China.
Recently, the franchise has been revived thanks to the popular series Cobra Kai, which was released in 2018 and gathered a wide audience on Netflix.
