The Runway is inspired by the true story of a South American pilot who landed his plane near Mallow in Ireland’s County 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. It is the story of Paco, a young boy without a father who adopts the pilot and convinces the town to build a runway to get him home.
