PK, an English orphan terrorized for his family's political beliefs in Africa, turns to his only friend, a kindly world-wise prisoner, Geel Piet. Geel teaches him how to box with the motto “fight with your fists and lead with your heart”. As he grows to manhood, PK uses these words to take on the system and the injustices he sees around him - and finds that one person really can make a difference.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Beautifully produced and gorgeously shot on location in Zimbabwe by lenser Dean Semler, picture has depth, dimension and first-rate casting.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
20 May 2008
rotten:
Avildsen draws good performances from the three actors who play PK, as well as from the ever-reliable Freeman and Muller-Stahl, but subtlety is abandoned when he focuses on the ring and teen romance.
– Derek Adams,

rotten:
The film's facile treatment of racial issues may be enough to bring back the practice of throwing tomatoes at the screen.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
30 Aug 2004
rotten:
A violent cartoon that trivializes apartheid. If there's any justice, the birds of loneliness will be circling the box office.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
12 May 2001
rotten:
It's resounding bunk, candied over with the lush music of Johnny Clegg and hyped to death by director John ("Rocky") Avildsen.
