In the 1991 film "Point Break," the surfer and robbery leader played by Patrick Swayze is Bodhi.
Bodhi, whose full name is given as Bodhisattva, leads a group of surfers who secretly rob banks while wearing masks of former U.S. presidents. The gang becomes known as the Ex-Presidents. Their unusual method is to take only the cash available in bank tellers' drawers, completing each robbery in roughly 90 seconds.
FBI agent Johnny Utah, played by Keanu Reeves, investigates the robberies and goes undercover in the surfing community. Through Tyler Endicott, Utah meets Bodhi and becomes fascinated by his philosophy of risk, freedom and extreme surfing. That relationship creates the film's central conflict: Utah grows close to Bodhi while gathering evidence against him.
The name Bodhi refers to spiritual awakening, fitting the character's search for transcendence through dangerous experiences. Johnny Utah is the undercover agent, Tyler is the surfer who teaches Utah, and Angelo Pappas is Utah's FBI partner.
