TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS: RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM

1 X 260' HD
A WARNER BROS. FILM PRODUCTION
Directed by PETER BOGDANOVICH


Runnin' Down A Dream, a film directed by cinema legend Peter Bogdanovich, is the story of one of America's great rock and roll bands told as never before.

Hailing from Gainesville, Florida, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers got together in the mid-70s, moved to California and released their self-titled debut album in 1976. The album was a hit in the UK where its concise, rock 'n' roll traditionalism sat well with the emerging punk and new wave scenes.

Peter Bogdanovich's epic portrait uses extensive interviews with the band and friends like Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Rick Rubin to chart their stubborn, independent-minded and often highly-successful journey towards the present day - breaking up occasionally, stopping off with the Travelling Wilburys, various Petty solo outings and periods backing the likes of Dylan, but fundamentally sticking together as one of America's greatest live and recording rock 'n' roll bands.
