Damn the Torpedoes is the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album we’ve all been waiting for - that is, if we were all Tom Petty fans, which we would be if there were any justice in the world, live shows for all, free records everywhere and rockin’ radio. Songs like I Need to Know and Listen to Her Heart from 1978’s You’re Gonna Get It and Refugee, Here Comes My Girl and others from this year’s model are bedrock - they will endure. And carried off a lot of it. But what makes Damn the Torpedoes their best album yet isn’t so much its sound (though that’s clearer and punchier than before, thank heaven and coproducer Jimmy Iovine) but its assurance. Mechanical rhythms are hip, but something more fluid makes better time with the flowing organ and guitar surges Petty uses so well, and Damn the Torpedoes glides like a supertanker.

This film tells the story behind the creation of this great rock 'n' roll album and the dramatic transformation in the band's career that took place following its release. Through interviews, new and archive performances and analysis we discover how Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Ron Blair and Stan Lynch created their songs and sounds with the help of Co-Producer Jimmy Iovine and Engineer Shelly Yakus.

Damn the Torpedos is the peak of Tom Petty’s songwriting with the Heartbreakers. Slick, big, and immutably classic, the album is a front-to-back feat of production and songwriting. Four years after signing with Shelter Records, and in the midst of recording the third Heartbreakers album for the label, it all went bad. When MCA bought Shelter’s fledgling parent company ABC in 1979, Petty tried to opt out of his contract-in which he’d naively ceded all publishing royalties-and MCA and Shelter sued him in . Refusing to be bought and sold like a piece of meat, Petty threatened to shelve his band’s new album, and MCA counter-threatened to confiscate the band’s session tapes-legally, their property.

Damn the Torpedoes is the third album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released on the eve of Petty's 29th birthday, October 20, 1979. The album went on to become certified Triple Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)
