Director Kathryn Bigelow’s iconic action movie “Point Break” is one of the most beloved movies of the 1990s.
Per IMDb, its plot is as follows: “An F.B.I. Agent goes undercover to catch a gang of surfers who may be bank robbers.”
The film stars Keanu Reeves as F.B.I. Agent Johnny Utah, Patrick Swayze as gang leader Bodhi, with Gary Busey, Lori Petty, and John C. McGinley in key supporting roles.
GettyIt was both a critical and commercial success. Currently, “Point Break” holds a Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of 68%. At the global box office, having cost around $24 million to make, it grossed just over $83.5 million.
“Point Break” hit theaters in the United States on July 12, 1991. That means it will turn 35 years old in a couple of months. With that in mind, wouldn’t it be cool to see the cast now, compared to how they looked back when the movie released? Let’s do that immediately…
