The point of no return

How would you go about translating "the point of no return"? What do you think of "el punto donde ya no se puede volver atrás"?

I think, you need the translation of the sentence then, I suppose that the sentence would be El punto de no retorno, I think that that sentence sound as a topic of a movie, or Where did you listen that?

This is good. Here are others:
el punto sin retorno
el punto de no retorno
(Ya) no poder volverse atrás.
(Ya) no poderse echar atrás.
