Point Break is a 1991 American action thriller film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Lori Petty, and Gary Busey. The film follows Johnny Utah (Reeves), an FBI agent who goes undercover to infiltrate a gang of bank robbers led by the charismatic Bodhi (Swayze).

The gang is known as the Ex-Presidents because they wear masks of former U.S. presidents during their robberies. Utah is initially suspicious of Bodhi, but he soon finds himself drawn to the surfer's lifestyle and philosophy.

As Utah learns more about Bodhi and his gang, he begins to question his own loyalties. He is torn between his duty as an FBI agent and his growing respect for Bodhi and his way of life.

Point Break is a stylish and action-packed film with stunning visuals and well-choreographed fight scenes. The film has also been praised for its complex characters and its exploration of themes such as freedom, individuality, and the nature of good and evil.

The film grossed over $83 million in box office on a budget of $24 million. It spawned a remake in 2015, but the original is still considered to be the definitive version of the story.
