About Point Break

Point Break is a 1991 American action film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and written by W. Peter Iliff. It stars Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Gary Busey and Lori Petty. The title refers to the surfing term "point break", where a wave breaks as it hits a point of land jutting out from the coastline. The film features Reeves as an undercover FBI agent who is tasked with investigating the identities of a group of bank robbers while he develops a complex relationship with the group's leader (Swayze). Development of Point Break began in 1986, when Iliff wrote an initial script for the film. Bigelow soon developed it with her husband, James Cameron, and filming took place four years later. It was shot across the western coast of the continental United States and was budgeted at $24 million. It was released on July 12, 1991. Point Break premiered in Westwood on July 10, 1991 before being released by 20th Century Fox on July 12, 1991. The film opened to generally positive reviews, with critics praising the chemistry between Reeves and Swayze. During its theatrical run, it grossed over $83.5 million, and has since gained a cult following. A remake was released in 2015.
