Plot Summary:
FBI agent Johnny Utah goes undercover to investigate a string of
bank robberies committed by a gang known as the "Ex-Presidents".

Dad's Preview:
If this is on, I'm watching it. There are so many great moments.
An undercover cop, Johnny Reno, is assigned to find out who has
been robbing local banks. He infiltrates a group of thrill-seeking surfers, led by zen guru, Bohdi. It is great film-making as the
plots and subplots wraps themselves up and back again. The
action sequences are dangerous and thrilling. The best moments
are between Swayze and Reeves as they form a fragile friendship.
