Science on Screen: Point Break (1991)

 
Real Art Ways’ new season of Science on Screen® invites you to experience the pairing of a feature film and a mind-expanding talk from a notable area scientist. This year, we will be presenting this series at the Connecticut Science Center. 

After a string of bizarre bank robberies in Southern California, with the crooks donning masks of various former presidents, a federal agent, Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), infiltrates the suspected gang. But this is no ordinary group of robbers. They’re surfers, led by the charismatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), who are addicted to the rush of thievery. When Utah falls in love with a female surfer, Tyler (Lori Petty), who is close to the gang, it complicates his sense of duty.
