Breaking Away

The movie that tells you exactly what you can do with your high school diploma!

A warm, energetic coming-of-age comedy about working-class teenage friendship, ambition, and self-discovery through cycling and cultural exploration.

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.
