Breaking Away

Dire, Peter Yates,1979, USA, 101 min.

Dennis Christopher captured hearts across America in the role of Dave Stoler, a small town cyclist with big time dreams of riding with the Italian racing team. Dave ponders life after high school and faces some tough life lessons with his friends in this 1979 classic. And when you consider that his friends are played by Jackie Earle Haley (The Watchmen), Daniel Stern (Home Alone) and Dennis Quaid (Great Balls of Fire!), you know it's going to be good.

A must-see celebration of cycling, being young and following your dreams.
