Benson Lee's Planet B-Boy is a fun doc set in the international world of b-boying -- the urban dance more commonly known as "breakdancing." Weaving against the backdrops of Las Vegas, Osaka, Seoul and Paris/36049/">Paris, it tells the intimate stories of dancers who struggle for their dreams.

An American dancer looks for his big break. A Korean son seeks his father's approval. A 12-year-old French boy confronts his family's racism. One guy figures he's spent three or four years solely spinning on his head. All the b-boys' lives collide in Germany -- at the Battle of the Year finals, with crews from 18 nations vying for the world title. With performances that electrify, stupefy and awe-inspire, this doc shows how a New York street dance from the '80s evolved into an art form for a new generation around the world.
