TOM PETTY: HEARTBREAKERS BEACH PARTY

90 MIN

In 2024, the long-thought-lost 16mm reels of Tom Petty in Cameron Crowe’s first film, HEARTBREAKERS BEACH PARTY, were finally found. The classic ‘80s documentary captures Tom Petty and the band in 1982-1983 as they finish, promote, and tour around the “Long After Dark” album. After its initial airing on MTV in 1983, the film was deemed too experimental and abruptly pulled from the air. In the more than 40 years since, it has become folklore to fans, musicians, and within the entertainment industry - even credited with inspiring scenes in Spinal Tap. The highly anticipated & fully remastered HEARTBREAKERS BEACH PARTY is a fun, candid, fast-paced, & musically rich ride with America’s greatest rock & roll band, a time capsule of the dawn of the MTV era, and a rare & shining glimpse into Tom Petty’s lasting creative genius. This exclusive theatrical release features 19 minutes of fully remastered, never-before-seen, archival bonus footage and new commentary from director Cameron Crowe.
