The Runway

A lost South American pilot discovers solace in the warm and embracing Irish town of County Cork, where the community rallies around to offer support and friendship.

Inspired by a true story, The Runway tells the tale of a South American pilot who crash-lands in Mallow in 1983, sparking a remarkable community effort to build a runway to get him home. Against all odds, the townspeople come together to help the pilot, Ernesto, and a young boy named Paco, who has lost his father and adopts Ernesto as a substitute.
