Fathom is spearheading a special release of Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break this August, with a new 4K restoration enhancing every minute of the Keanu Reeves–Patrick Swayze action thriller.
Plot Refresher
A refresher on the plot of Point Break, per the official description: “In Los Angeles, a gang of bank robbers call themselves the Ex-Presidents and commit their crimes while wearing masks of Reagan, Carter, Nixon and Johnson. The FBI believes that the members of the gang could be surfers and sends young agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) undercover at the beach to mix with the surfers and gather information. As he is drawn deeper into the world of charismatic surfer Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) and his thrill-seeking crew, Utah must decide where his loyalties lie.”
The cast also includes Gary Busey, Lori Petty, John C. McGinley, James LeGros and Anthony Kiedis. This re-release will also feature a special introduction from surfing legend Matt Archbold, who served as surf double for Swayze on the film.
