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.

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.

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.
