Peter Bogdanovich’s portrait of one of America’s great heartland rock ‘n’ roll bands. Hailing from Florida, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers got together in the mid 70s, moved to California and released their debut album in 1976. The album was a hit in the UK where its concise traditionalism sat well with the emerging punk and new wave scenes. The film uses interviews with the band and friends like Bob Dylan and Stevie Nicks to chart their stubborn, independent-minded and successful journey., Peter Bogdanovich directed this epic documentary exploring three decades in the history of the rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, utilizing in-depth interviews and rare concert footage. The film also chronicles Petty’s solo career and his time with the short-lived supergroup the Traveling Wilburys, featuring George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison., Filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich turns to the documentary form for the first time with this lengthy profile of one of rock and roll’s enduring talents. Tom Petty: Running Down A Dream presents an in-depth look at Petty’s life and career and his work with his long-time band the Heartbreakers, ranging from Petty’s earliest musical influences (which includes meeting Elvis Presley when the King came to Florida to shoot a movie when Petty was just eleven years old) to the critical and commercial success of his 2006 album Highway Companion. Along the way, the film offers glimpses of Petty’s early bands (including the Sundowners and Mudcrutch), his battles with record companies over royalties, record prices and control of his music, his collaborations with other artists (among them George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Roger McGuinn), his relationship with his fellow Heartbreakers, and of course his music, with plenty of footage of Petty and the Heartbreakers strutting their stuff on stage.
