About Breaking Away
Dave (Dennis Christopher) and his working-class friends Cyril (Daniel Stern), Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley) and Mike (Dennis Quaid) spend their post-high school days in Bloomington, Indiana, sparring with snooty students from the local university, chasing girls and--in Dave's case--dreaming of competitive bicycle racing. The four friends face opposition from all corners as they decide to make Dave's dreams come true in the university's annual bicycle endurance race.

Mont Blanc: Glacier in danger of collapse, experts warn
Officials in Courmayeur highlighted in yellow the area of the Glacier At Risk of collapse
Italian authorities have closed roads and evacuated mountain huts after experts warned that part of a Glacier on Mont Blanc could collapse.
About 250,000 cubic metres of ice are in danger of Breaking Away from the Planpincieux Glacier on the Grandes Jorasses peak, officials said.
The Mayor of the nearby town of Courmayeur said Global Warming was changing the mountain.
The Mont Blanc massif is Western Europe 's highest Mountain Range .
It has 11 peaks above 4,000m in France and Italy and attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year.
On Tuesday, Courmayeur Mayor Stefano Miserocchi signed an order closing roads in the Val Ferret on The Italian side of Mont Blanc, after experts warned that a section of the Glacier was sliding at speeds of 50-60cm (16-23in) per day.
He said there was no threat to residential areas or tourist facilities but mountain huts in the Rochefort area were being evacuated as a precaution.
"These phenomena Once Again show how the mountain is going through a period of major change due to climate factors and, therefore, it is particularly vulnerable," Mr Miserocchi told Italian media.
Experts from the Valle d'Aosta regional government and the Fondazione Montagna Sicura (Safe Mountain Foundation) say it is impossible to predict exactly when the mass of ice might collapse.
The Planpincieux Glacier has been closely monitored since 2013 in an attempt to establish the frequency with which ice is melting. But authorities warn that there is no "alert system" in place.
In one weather-related incident in August 2018, an elderly couple were killed near Planpincieux in Courmayeur when their car was swept from a road and into a valley during a landslide. Hundreds of people were evacuated, some of them by helicopter.
