"Heroes" is a 1977 comedy drama film directed by Jeremy Kagan, and starring Henry Winkler and Sally Field. Harrison Ford (in his first post- role) played a featured part as a stock car driver in Sedalia, Missouri who keeps a stolen machine gun in his motor home.

Plot

Jack Dunne (Winkler), a Vietnam Veteran, escapes a mental ward in New York City to start a business as a worm farmer in the south. At the bus station, he meets Carol Bell (Field), a woman unsure of her engagement and marriage to a man she doesn't love, and they set off on a trip to middle America to think things over.

Trivia

* In the MCA video release of the film, Kansas's song "Carry on Wayward Son" was removed from the last 3-4 minutes of the movie. The footage of Winkler running down the street when he's told his best buddy died in the Vietnam War, was removed and replaced with a scene of Field embracing Winkler in a fetal position in a marshy field.
* The film was filmed in Sonoma County, California, mainly in Petaluma.
* The movie was shot during the height of Henry Winkler's popularity due to his starring role as "Fonzie" on the television comedy Happy Days. During shooting, a rumor of a Winkler sighting caused a crowd of pre-teen girls to charge up Walnut Street from St. Vincent's school in hopes of a glimpse of the heartthrob.
* A rain machine was utilized for a key scene that took place at the old Greyhound bus station at the corners of Kentucky and C Streets.
