No matter what rolled in on the tides of time, California surfing buddies Matt, Jack and Leory knew they’d stick together. And that they’d be ready when a rare 20-foot swell hit the coast at last. BIG WEDNESDAY celebrates surfing as much as the most dedicated kid who ever waxed a board. It’s also a fascinating 1962-1974 chronicle of friendships and lifestyles in transition. John Milius (APOCALYPSE NOW, RED DAWN) directs and co-scripts with a passion for the ultimate ride and a truthful feel for those turbulent times.

Stars Jan-Michael Vincent and William Katt are accomplished surfers; colead Gary Busey (POINT BREAK, 1991) learned for the role. And the vivid camerawork drops you inside awesome barrels of ocean blue.
