As a lead, Swayze found success in the Cold War action flick Red Dawn and the ABC Civil War miniseries North and South." "

Swayze followed that commercial triumph with Road House, playing a philosophical bouncer; Ghost, as a dead man attempting to protect his girlfriend from harm; and Point Break, in which he lead a gang of bank-robbing surfers."
