INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — There are still two more days to catch local, national and international films at the Heartland International Film Festival.

“Breaking Away” was filmed in Bloomington in 1979 and still remains a celebrated, unique classic.

The film is about the Little 500 at IU, and a small group of bikers, called “the cutters.”

Great Day TV’s Patty Spitler and Dennis Christopher, a star of the film, stopped by the WISH-TV studios to take a closer look at the movie.
