Point Break
1991 · Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
An undercover FBI agent infiltrates a gang of surfer bank robbers. Keanu and Swayze. The chase is on foot and it's cinema.
Why It's Cult
Point Break is Kathryn Bigelow at her most euphoric — a zen action movie that takes its own hokey mysticism seriously enough that you do too. The skydive sequence. The foot chase through the backyards of LA. Keanu screaming into the air. A legitimately great action film hiding inside a beach-bro premise.
The Plot, Officially

The F.B.I. believes that the members of the gang could be surfers, and send young Agent Johnny Utah undercover at the beach to mix with the surfers and gather information.
