Teens P.J., Goose, and Judy find adventure riding BMX bikes across Sydney. One day, they discover a box of walkie-talkies, and find out that a gang intends to use them to monitor police signals during a bank robbery. When the young trio snatches the devices, they embark on a new kind of adventure where the stakes are much higher.

Entertainment Weekly by Chris Nashawaty
The film’s no great shakes; it’s a Down Under Goonies wannabe about three wisecracking kids shredding on their bikes as they’re chased by bungling bank robbers. But the baby-faced Kidman is easily the best thing in it.
The Guardian by Luke Buckmaster
A feast of kitsch and gaudy colour, set to the tune of an 80s synth soundtrack, the film plays like a G-rated music video. And Trenchard-Smith maintaining a buzzing energy throughout.
