Dan (Mechlowicz) is a hotshot college gymnast who is told his dreams are over after a bad motorcycle crash. Socrates offers his own spiritual take on Dan's dilemma and Dan goes on to—well, the actual Dan Millman goes on to write a 1980 New Age memoir called “Way of the Peaceful Warrior,” which this film is based on. 121m/C DVD .
