Science on Screen: Point Break
Advertisement
Please join us on Saturday, August 15, at 3:00pm for a screening of "Point Break," alongside a conversation with Dr. Natale Sciolino, from UConn!
After a string of bizarre bank robberies in Southern California, with the crooks donning masks of various former presidents, a federal agent, Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), infiltrates the suspected gang. But this is no ordinary group of robbers. They’re surfers, led by the charismatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), who are addicted to the rush of thievery. When Utah falls in love with a female surfer, Tyler (Lori Petty), who is close to the gang, it complicates his sense of duty.
Do you enjoy skydiving, racing motorcycles, or riding rollercoasters? If so, why are those activities so much fun?
Dr. Sciolino will lead a discussion on the human preoccupation with thrill seeking. How does adrenaline affect our brain, and what role does it play in our daily lives (whether or not we are surfing a 100-foot wave)?
