Hearts of the West is a 1975 American comedy film written by Rob Thompson, produced for MGM by Tony Bill, and directed by legendary commercial producer Howard Zieff: . The film has been called a valentine to the early days of moviemaking and is built around the performance of then-26-year-old actor Jeff Bridges, fresh off a string of early, career-building successes like Thunderbolt and Lightfoot.
But when he arrives in Titan, Nevada, the school turns out to be a post office box in a dusty whistle-stop station in the middle of an empty desert. It doesn't take long for the hucksters who run the fake school get wind of the stranger in town. They promptly try to rob him, which backfires when, in a panic, Lewis escapes in their car with their ill-gotten loot.
1 The appeal of Hearts of the West on college campuses and midnight shows no doubt lies in its depiction of its highly identifiable story of a young man, his trials and tribulations, and his ultimate success, mostly through pluck and dreams. It is wish fulfillment for young adults, who, most likely relate to Lewis in one way or another.
