Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party (PG)

Two men sit in the back of a cab, chatting.

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 (their final with legendary producer Jimmy Iovine). 

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.
