Director Morgan Matthews and writer Malcolm Campbell adapt Mark Lowery's acclaimed book 'Charlie and Me: 421 Miles from Home'.
The film sees young brothers Finn (Roman Griffin Davis) and Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell) flee their bickering parents (Clare Dunne and Michael Socha) in Yorkshire and embark on a trip to visit their grandfather (Bill Nighy) on the west coast of Ireland. The young runaways are aided in their journey by free-spirited busker Cáit (Maisie Williams).
500 Miles is in UK/ROI cinemas later this year.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
While their fighting parents (Clare Dunne & Michael Socha) tear their hair out with worry, runaways Finn (Roman Griffin Davis) and his live-wire younger brother Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell) embark on an epic adventure from Yorkshire, over land and sea, to the Wild West coast of Ireland. With the free-spirited busker Cait (Maisie Williams) helping the young boys along the way, their destination is Dingle, County Kerry, and their estranged, beloved Grandfather (BAFTA-award winner Bill Nighy), who their parents haven’t spoken to since the fateful events of the previous summer.
