Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), is a rookie FBI agent and former Ohio State quarterback who, with his partner Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey), is investigating a string of bank robberies by a gang of bank robbers known as the Ex-Presidents because they wear masks of Presidents Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, and Lyndon B. Johnson. Pursuing a theory of Pappas’ that the criminals are surfers, Utah goes undercover to infiltrate the surfing community. Knowing little of the sport and lifestyle, Utah persuades orphan surfer girl Tyler Endicott (Lori Petty) to teach him to surf.

In the process, Utah develops a complex relationship with Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) the charismatic leader of a gang of surfers, Roach (James LeGros), Grommet (Bojesse Christopher), and Nathaniel (John Philbin), who accept Utah into their midst as they realize he’s a great athlete. As he masters the art of surfing, Utah finds himself increasingly attracted to the surfers’ adrenaline-charged lifestyle, Bodhi’s philosophies – and to Tyler.

Following a clue gotten by analyzing toxins found in the hair of one of the bank robbers, Utah and Pappas lead an FBI raid on another gang of surfers. While criminals, these surfers aren’t the Ex-Presidents and the raid inadvertently ruins a DEA undercover operation.

Watching Bodhi’s group surfing, Utah suspects they are the Ex-Presidents from the way one of them moons everyone as one of the robbers did leaving the bank. He tails Bodhi and his suspicions are confirmed when Bodhi and Roach case a bank. Utah and Pappas stakeout the bank and the Ex-Presidents appear. A furious chase ensues through streets, backyards, houses, alleys, etc. Though he has a clear shot at Bodhi, Utah is unable to shoot his friend and Bodhi escapes.

Bodhi aggressively recruits him into participating in a skydiving adventure, and Utah, still not having any hard proof that Bodhi is a bank robber, goes along. After the jump, Bodhi reveals that he knows Utah is an FBI agent, and has arranged for Tyler to be held hostage by his friend Rosie, a non-surfing thug; Utah is forced to participate in their last bank robbery of the summer. The robbery goes wrong and Grommet and an off-duty cop are killed; Utah is left at the scene. Read more
