Synopsis
The Runway is inspired by the true story of a South American pilot who crashed his plane in a field near Mallow, Co.Cork in 1983. Against all odds, the people of the town came together to build a runway to get him home and briefly caught the imagination of the nation. The film is seen through the eyes of nine-year-old Paco who believes his absent father is Spanish and working as a NASA astronaut.
