What happens

Heroes is a 1977 American drama film directed by Jeremy Paul Kagan and starring Henry Winkler, Sally Field and Harrison Ford (in his first post–Star Wars role, but filmed before that movie's release). Winkler plays a Vietnam War vet with PTSD who sets about finding the men from his unit who had served in Vietnam. Field plays his at-first-reluctant girlfriend and Ford plays one of the former soldiers in his unit, now a dysfunctional stock car driver in Sedalia, Missouri, who keeps a stolen M16 rifle in the trunk of his car.
