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. But when Utah falls in love with a female surfer, Tyler (Lori Petty), who is close to the gang, it complicates his sense of duty.

An action packed movie centered around a Federal Agent trying to get the goods on a gang of robbers. Johnny Utah and his partner manage to screw up a undercover operation and things start to go downhill from there. Luck is on Johnny's side as he falls for a female surfer and gets a foot in the door. An interesting movie with convincing performances from Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves.
