About Way of the Warrior Kid
Way of the Warrior Kid is an Apple Original film starring Chris Pratt, and it premieres globally on Apple TV on Friday, November 20, 2026. Marc is a kind but bullied middle schooler who is struggling in class, in gym and with friends. His uncle Jake, an injured Navy SEAL played by Pratt, comes to stay for the summer and puts him through "Operation Warrior Kid".
