Dan Millman (
Scott Mechlowicz) is a talented college gymnast with Olympic dreams. He has it all: trophies, teammates, fast motorcycles, fast girls and wild parties. Then Dan's world is turned upside down when he breaks a leg in a car crash. Disappointed and disillusioned, he meets a mysterious stranger who calls himself a peaceful warrior (
Nick Nolte), who holds the power to tap into new worlds of strength and understanding. With his help and after meeting an elusive young woman named Joy (
Amy Smart), Dan discovers he has much to learn and even more to leave behind before he can become a peaceful warrior and find his destiny.
Based on the semi-autobiographical book loved by millions, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman.
