About Point Break

In Los Angeles, a gang of bank robbers call themselves the Ex-Presidents and commit their crimes while wearing masks of Reagan, Carter, Nixon, and Johnson. The FBI believes that the members of the gang could be surfers and sends young agent Johnny Utah (Reeves) undercover at the beach to mix with the surfers and gather information. As he is drawn deeper into the world of charismatic surfer Bodhi (Swayze) and his thrill-seeking crew, Utah must decide where his loyalties lie.

Directed by Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow, Point Break stars Keanu Reeves as FBI agent Johnny Utah and Patrick Swayze as Bodhi, alongside Gary Busey, Lori Petty, John C. McGinley, James LeGros, and Anthony Kiedis. More than three decades after its original release, the film remains a defining action classic, celebrated for its kinetic filmmaking, memorable performances, endlessly quotable dialogue, and a fearless blend of crime, surfing, and extreme sports.
