The movie was inspired by a newspaper article Rick King, who shares "story by" credit, had read a piece in the L.A. Weekly about how Los Angeles was the bank robbery capital of the United States.

After a string of bizarre bank robberies in Southern California, with the crooks donning masks of various former presidents, a federal agent, Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), infiltrates the suspected gang. But this is no ordinary group of robbers. They're surfers -- led by the charismatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) -- who are addicted to the rush of thievery. But when Utah falls in love with a female surfer, Tyler (Lori Petty), who is close to the gang, it complicates his sense of duty.Point Break / Film synopsis

The pacing of Point Break is so excellent, and there are so many fun parts - the bank robberies, the house raid, the surfing scenes, the chases, John C. McGinley, the gas-pump flamethrower, the Tom Sizemore cameo, the skydiving scenes, that ending - that it's tough to get tired of watching it.

The final scene of Point Break is still discussed today. After a nine-year time jump, Utah tracks down Bodhi to Bells Beach in Australia where the “50-Year Storm” has started producing deadly waves. Utah decides to let Bodhi go and throws his FBI badge into the ocean.

Breaking Point is based on actual events in the Battle of Britain.

Point Break is the name Tony Stark gave Thor in the first Avengers film because of his resemblance to Patrick Swayze in the 1991 film, Point Break.

Parents need to know that Point Break (remade in 2015) is an entertaining 1990s action movie that's too graphically violent and profane to be appropriate for kids. There are multiple violent and bloody shoot-outs, tons of profanity (especially "f--") throughout, a few scenes of implied intercourse, and a…

Point Break opened to a generally positive critical reception and critics praised the relationship between Reeves and Swayze. During its theatrical run, the film grossed over $103.5 million, and has since gained a cult following. Following the film's success, it spawned a remake that was released in 2015.

A point break is a surf break where the shoreline extends out to sea creating a headland. The wave hits the headland or jetty and begins to peel along the extending shoreline creating a wave that is long, well-formed and unlikely of closing out or breaking in front of itself.

Bodhi is the main antagonist in the 1991 action film Point Break and the 2015 remake of the same name. He also appears as a playable character in the game Payday 2. He was portrayed by the late Patrick Swayze in the original film, and Édgar Ramírez in the 2015 remake.

Keanu Reeves and the rest of the Point Break cast learned as a part of their preparation for the film. Stunt doubles were used for some of the larger waves, such as at “Bells Beach,” but more on that later.

Plot. Former Ohio State quarterback and rookie FBI agent Johnny Utah assists experienced agent Angelo Pappas in investigating a string of bank robberies by the "Ex-Presidents": a gang of robbers who wear rubber masks of former presidents Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon and Lyndon B.

Point Break is the name Tony Stark gave Thor in the first Avengers film because of his resemblance to Patrick Swayze in the 1991 film, Point Break.

Thor (from Old Norse: Þórr) is a prominent god in Germanic paganism. In Norse mythology, he is a hammer-wielding god associated with lightning, thunder, storms, sacred groves and trees, strength, the protection of humankind, hallowing, and fertility.

Why does Tony Stark call Thor Point Break? Thor is called Point Break because of his uncanny resemblance to Patrick Swayze in the 1991 movie, Point Break. In the film, Swayze has long blonde hair, much like Thor in The Avengers. Point Break is a movie about a group of robbers, who also happen to be surfers.
