Point Break

BBC1, 11.30pm, today

A gang of robbers, known as the Ex-Presidents, have pulled off a string of daring bank jobs – and the only clue to their identity is a tan line and a strand of hair that suggests they may be surfers.

To test out this theory, FBI recruit Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) grabs a board and goes undercover. But as he becomes increasingly in thrall to both the sport and the gang’s charismatic leader Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), will he forget about his day job?

The movie’s biggest asset is director Kathryn Bigelow, who turns in some impressive action scenes.
