Teenager Finn and his younger brother Charlie are extremely close to their grandfather
John. However, a heartbreaking accident has led to their parents cutting off all contact with
John. Devastated by the estrangement, Finn and Charlie decide to run away and make the
trip from their English home to their grandfather’s home on the west coast of Ireland. With
limited funds and constant worries over Charlie’s fragile health, it proves to be a risky and
emotional journey for the boys.
Based on Mark Lowery’s book Charlie and Me, 500 Miles is a deeply affecting road-trip and
coming-of-age drama. With a cast that includes Billy Nighy, Maisie Williams and Clare
Dunne, this is a film that earns its big emotional moments.
