Young FBI agent going undercover, and falling in with an extreme sports crowd who later prove to be those responsible for the robberies.
Unsure of where his loyalties lie.
Charismatic leader of the extreme sports group.
Increasingly ridiculous stunts.
Wait, am I describing 'Point Break' or 'The Fast and the Furious' franchise??
Yes, it is clear that that later franchise (Fasrt and Furious) takes many elements from this earlier movie (albeit switching surfing for cars), which stars a - very young!, pre The Matrix or even Speed - Keanu Reeves (Johnny Utah) alongside an impressively mulleted Patrick Swayze (Bodhi) and Gary Busey as Utah's older FBI partner.
Lets face it, though, we're really here for the stunts (or, at least, the male audience is!): in particular the surfing and skydiving (without a parachute) scenes.
