Dave, nineteen, has just graduated high school, with his three friends: the comical Cyril, the warm hearted but short-tempered Moocher, and the athletic, spiteful but good-hearted Mike. Now, Dave enjoys racing bikes and hopes to race the Italians one day, and even takes up the Italian culture, much to his friends' and parents' annoyance.
Directed by Peter Yates

Breaking Away Ratings & Reviews

    It's a classic, character driven story about poor midwest kids. One with ambitions of professional cycling. Unlike most Hollywood sports films, "Breaking Away" isn't a Trope.

    A classic underdog coming-of-age tale about a bunch of small town middle America kids vs the preppy stuck-up out-of-town college meanies.
