Programme Information

A rash of daring bank robberies erupts, in which the bad guys all wear the masks of worse guys--former presidents (nice touch).

Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), an impossibly named former football star who blew out his knee and became a crime-busting federal agent instead, figures out that none of the heists occur during surfing season, and all of them occur when, so to speak, surf's down.

So obviously, he reasons, we're dealing with some surfer-dude bank robbers.

He soon goes undercover with just such a group, led by a very spiritual, very guru-type guy played by Patrick Swayze, who has some muddled philosophies when it comes to materialism.
