Pop culture was never the same after Breakin' erupted onto movie screens across the globe, exposing the mainstream world to the raw energy and intensity of pop locking and breakdancing! Featuring the dance movement's top superstars (with a special appearance by rap icon Ice-T), Breakin' paved the way for countless urban hip-hop films to come. Lucinda Dickey, Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinones and Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers star as a struggling trio of dancers who take on a rival gang in a battle to determine the best dance crew in the streets. Packed with fast-paced moves and featuring Boogaloo Shrimp's now-famous street-sweeping scene, this invigorating dance movie is a nonstop floor show of "excitingly staged solid fun!"

Length: 90 min.
