Point Break (1991) Soundtrack: Every Song & When It Plays in the movie
In Los Angeles, a gang of bank robbers who call themselves The Ex-Presidents commit their crimes while wearing masks of Reagan, Carter, Nixon and Johnson. Believing that the members of the gang could be surfers, the F.B.I. sends young agent Johnny Utah to the beach undercover to mix with the surfers and gather information.
The soundtrack for Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 action thriller Point Break is a high-octane compilation of classic rock, metal, and alternative tracks that define the film's surf and crime culture. The movie's ending credits feature the famous rock track 'Nobody Rides for Free' by the glam metal band Ratt. Fans searching for the film's music will also recognize prominent alternative tracks from Concrete Blonde and School of Fish.
Many memorable scenes in Point Break are driven by alternative and rock songs. When Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) buys his first surfboard, Westworld's 'So Long Cowboy' plays in the background, while Concrete Blonde's 'I Want You' plays during a quiet car scene with Tyler (Lori Petty). The tracklist also features legendary guitar riffs, including The Jimi Hendrix Experience's 'If 6 Was 9' during the house party scene, and L.A. Guns' 'Over the Edge' during the beach bonfire discussion.
