14th September 2017 marks eight years since the untimely passing of Patrick Swayze, and what better way to remember him, than by taking a look back at one of his greatest movies, the action masterpiece that is Point Break. Keanu Reeves’ magnificently named hero, Johnny Utah, begins his first day at the F.B.I. with his new partner Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey). Together they are tasked with solving a series of bank robberies by a professional gang known as the Ex Presidents. They hit banks quickly, dressed as Reagan, Carter, LBJ and Nixon. Pappas has a theory the bank robbers are surfers, chasing waves around the world. Utah goes undercover to surveil the beaches and infiltrate the gang. He meets local surfer Tyler (Lori Petty) and forms a fast friendship with surf legend Bodhi (Patrick Swayze). As the friendship grows, Utah learns Bodhi is responsible for the robberies, as he plans to travel for a 50 year storm which will provide the ultimate surf waves.
