An electrifying blend of adrenaline-fuelled action and philosophical exploration, Point Break thrusts viewers into the heart of California's surfing subculture, where FBI agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) goes undercover to infiltrate a gang of bank robbers led by the enigmatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze). Kathryn Bigelow’s direction brings a kinetic energy and visceral style that elevates this action-thriller beyond its genre, questioning the very nature of freedom and the pursuit of exhilaration. Returning with a 4k restoration, this cult classic captures the raw, untamed spirit of the early ‘90s and is both a thrilling ride and a compelling meditation on the extremes of human desire.
"Dripping with iconic moments...one of the greatest action movies of all-time." Far Out Magazine
