	Movies - Heroes

A film with Henry Winkler and Sally Field, with a guest appearance by a young Harrison Ford playing a stock car driver with a stollen machine gun in his motor home.

The story is about Henry's character, a Vietnam Vet, who evades the confines of a mental ward in New York City to start a business as a worm farmer in the south. At the bus station he meets Sally Field's character, a woman unsure of her engagement and marriage to a man she doesn't love, set on a trip to middle America (say Kansas) to think things over. When Henry's Character subsequently ruins her "getaway", by being associated with him and regarded as his wife. It is the one movie where one can just realize how young and talented Sally Field and Henry Winkler were in the seventies.

In the MCA video release of the movie, Kansas's song "Carry On Wayward Son" was removed from the last 3-4 minutes of the movie. The footage of Henry running down the street when he's told his best buddy died in the Vietnam war, was removed and replaced with a scene of Sally Field embracing Henry in a fetal position in a marshy field. This change most fans of the movie and of the group band Kansas, regard as a mistake.

"It's a shame that more people are not familiar with the movie, nor have seen it" ---Rofthorax 18:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
