About this product

Product Information

BREAKING AWAY is a winning coming-of-age story with unusually well drawn characters, smart social commentary, and a terrific ensemble of fresh-faced actors soon to be famous. The rivalry between townies and college kids sets the scene for the story of four friends trying to figure out their future after high school graduation in Bloomington, Indiana. Raised together in the working-class quarry town, the boys consider themselves Cutters, proud of their father's heritage as limestone workers in the once prosperous factory town. But there is no future for the boys as Cutters, and not one of them has plans for college. So now that Mike (Dennis Quaid) is no longer a star quarterback, Moocher (Jackie Earl Haley) can't decide if he wants to break up or marry his girlfriend, and quick-witted Cyril (Daniel Stern) can no longer play the class clown, they have no idea what to do with themselves. Luckily, avid cyclist Dave (Dennis Christopher) knows exactly what he wants. He aspires to be one of the world's best bicyclists. There's only one obstacle: The leading racers are Italian, and Dave is not. A romantic dreamer, he races around his hometown, singing opera, speaking in an Italian accent, and stumping his parents with his newfangled Italian ways. When his affair with Katherine (an Italian exchange student) evokes jealousy from a few big boys on campus, Dave decides that a bike race is the only way to settle the score and prove that Cutters are not losers. The film features a remarkable performance from character actor Paul Dooley, who shines as Dave's befuddled and frustrated working-class father. Screenwriter Steve Tesich's script is an intelligent and humorous masterpiece, full of subtle humor and insightful dialogue. All the components combine to make one of the most charming comedies of all time.

    This late 70's film is a must see!

    In my opinion, Breaking Away is one of the all-time best coming of age films. The main character, Dave, is charming, intense, and sweet (and just a bit whacky). This film deals not only with the changes of growing up and losing your childish illusions, but it also shows how those changes affect your family and friends. Really entertaining and has a great ending.

  • Coming of age film

    This film hits a lot of the points and does that part well. Some of the encounters between protagonists and antagonists were staged pretty clumsily but I certainly forgive that. One of the main characters was pretty much left without complete development, Daniel Stern, and the concept of a bike rider drafting a truck at 60 MPH was patently absurd. Non bike riders MIGHT believe it possible. Oh, and the idea of a single rider carrying nearly ALL the race and winning was pure ignorance - and Hollywood - but, hey, suspend disbelief and enjoy. I thought that the locations chosen were one of the best attributes of the film and I particularly liked the quarry and the stone cutting plant.

  • Still relevant

    One of the few films in American cinema history that deals with the class structure in the US while doing it with fun and with heart. I saw it when it first came out, at a theater in New York City, and the crows was howling and on its feet at the end. A perfect verification of how good it is.

  • Great classic movie that is still meaningful today!

    Great classic movie. No sex, or nudity or bad language. Great actors, characters, great story that every high school kid should watch today! Even though this was shot back in the late 70's there are a lot of similar thoughts and life challenges that are still the same as today.

  • Great classic movie.

    I don't know why it took so long to find this dvd whenever I looked for it on line. Most of the time I saw it was only available in Europe and expensive. So this find and purchase was pretty exciting. It is one of my all time favorite movies and the dvd quality is great.
