Short description

A young undercover FBI agent infiltrates a gang of thieves who share a common interest in extreme sports. A remake of the 1991 film, "Point Break".

What's left behind the scenes

This is Theresa Palmer's first role since the birth of her son, yet she performs almost all of the stunts in the film herself.
Gerard Butler was the first to be cast in the role. He was supposed to play Bodhi, the leader of a group of extreme sports enthusiasts. Butler had to withdraw from the project due to a busy work schedule.
Edgar Ramírez and Ray Winstone played the god Ares in films based on Ancient Greek myths. Ramírez appeared in 'Wrath of the Titans,' and Winstone in 'Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief'.
Actress Theresa Palmer, who plays Samsara, has a son named Bodhi Rain. The film's main character is also named Bodhi.
Some scenes were filmed in Venezuela at Angel Falls, which has a continuous freefall of 807 meters (the highest waterfall in the world). Edgar Ramirez, who played Bodhi, was born in Venezuela.
Edgar Ramirez, who played Bodhi, starred in "Zero Dark Thirty" directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who also directed the 1991 "Point Break".
Director Ericson Core worked as a cinematographer on the film 'The Fast and the Furious,' which shares many similarities with the film 'Point Break' (1991).
In the 1991 film, James LeGros played one of the former presidents. In the remake, he appeared as an FBI agent.
Even before filming of the remake began, there was an idea to film a sequel to "Point Break." It would have been set in Indonesia, and Australian actor Damien Walsh-Howling was considered for the lead role. In fact, the sequel would only have been related to the original film by the combination of a surfer-criminal. However, this project was eventually rejected.
The helmets worn by the criminals during their operations were adorned with caricatures of presidents – as a tribute to the original film.
Edgar Ramirez and Ray Winstone both played the god Ares in films based on ancient Greek myths. Ramirez appeared in "Wrath of the Titans," and Winstone in "Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief".
Taylor Kitsch, Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chris Pine, Chris Pratt, and Sam Claflin were candidates for the role of Johnny Utah.
Christopher Bgessey, who plays the FBI Director, also appeared in the 1991 film. In that movie, he played Grommet, one of the surfing robbers who wore a mask of President Lyndon B. Johnson.
This is Teresa Palmer's first role since the birth of her son; however, she performs nearly all of her own stunts in the film.
Edgar Ramírez, who played Bodhi, appeared in the film 'Zero Dark Thirty' directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who also directed the 1991 'Point Break'.
Candidates for the role of Bodhi included Tom Hardy, Colin Farrell, Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, and Garrett Hedlund.
James LeGros appears in both the original film and the remake.
Bo Jesse Christopher, who plays the FBI Director, also appeared in the 1991 film. There, he played Grommet, one of the surfing robbers who wore a mask of President Lyndon Johnson.
Gerard Butler was the first to be cast. He was to play the role of Bodhi, the leader of a group of extreme sports enthusiasts. However, Butler had to withdraw from the project due to a scheduling conflict.
Tom Hardy, Colin Farrell, Hugh Jackman, Chris Hemsworth, and Garrett Hedlund were candidates for the role of Bodhi.
