Point Break is a 1991 action-thriller film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, and Gary Busey. The film follows Johnny Utah (Reeves), a former college football player turned FBI agent who goes undercover to investigate a group of extreme surfers who are suspected of bank robbery. The movie begins with a daring bank robbery attributed to a gang known as the "Ex-Presidents." The robbers are dressed as former American Presidents during their heists, and they are able to escape scot-free each time. After studying footage of the robberies, Johnny uncovers a pattern in the gang's behavior that leads him to believe the Ex-Presidents are surfers.

To infiltrate the surfing community, Johnny enlists the help of veteran surfer and FBI agent Angelo Pappas (Busey), who has been investigating the Ex-Presidents for years. Johnny immerses himself in the surfing lifestyle and quickly befriends Bodhi (Swayze), the charismatic leader of the group.

As Johnny spends more time with the surfers, he begins to question whether or not they are the bank robbers he has been searching for. Bodhi's philosophy of living life to the fullest and chasing thrills resonates with Johnny, and he finds himself becoming increasingly drawn to Bodhi's way of life.

However, as Johnny gets closer to Bodhi and the other surfers, he also gets closer to discovering the truth about their criminal activities. A high-stakes chase scene through the crowded streets of Los Angeles leads to an epic showdown that forces Johnny to make a difficult decision.

Point Break was hailed upon its release for its thrilling action sequences and stunning surfing footage. The chemistry between Reeves and Swayze, as well as the film's electrifying soundtrack, also contributed to its success.

The film has since become a cult classic and has been cited as an influence on many action films that followed. A 2015 remake starring Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez was also released, but it failed to capture the same magic as the original.

Overall, Point Break is a high-octane thrill ride that remains a beloved classic of the action genre.

Point Break is a 1991 action movie with a runtime of 2 hours and 3 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.3 and a MetaScore of 59.
