- Synopsis
- Dan Millman (Scott Mechlowicz) is a gifted young athlete bound for Olympic gold who will do anything to be the best. Driven by success, Dan has got it all: trophies, fast motorcycles, fast girls, and wild parties. But Dan's world is turned upside down when he meets a mysterious stranger in a gas station (Nick Nolte) who holds the power to tap into new worlds of strength and understanding. The young man discovers that he has much to learn and even more to leave behind in order to master this new vision of greatness in this moving tale about the power of human will. Based on the semi-autobiographical book loved by millions, “WAY OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR” by Dan Millman.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Strong performances by Scott Mechlowicz as Millman and Nick Nolte as the mysterious mechanic who changes his life ground the film in effective drama."
-
"Watchable exercise in Zen hokum"
-
"Mere recitation of homilies for better living and a half-baked account of the athlete's comeback are no substitutes for a complete movie"
-
"The cast is quite good. But Peaceful Warrior, which is basically "The Karate Kid" with a bigger kid and a bigger mentor, represents a journey of predictability, rather than a destination worth the trouble."
-
"Peaceful Warrior aims for inspirational highs but mostly feels like a self-help book read aloud by actors."
