500 Miles

Dir: Morgan Matthews | UK, Ireland | 2026 | 101 mins  

Cast | Bill Nighy, Maisie Williams, Dexter Sol Ansell, Roman Griffin Davis 

Oscar nominee Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually, State of Play) stars in BAFTA winner Morgan Matthews’ poetic, life-affirming road movie, adapted from Mark Lowery’s acclaimed novel Charlie and Me: 421 Miles From Home. 

While their fighting parents (Clare Dunne, Michael Socha) tear their hair out with worry, runaways Finn (Roman Griffin Davis) and his live-wire young brother Charlie (Dexter Sol Ansell) embark on an epic adventure. They're trying to reach the wild west coast of Ireland and their beloved eccentric grandad (Nighy), who they haven't seen since all their troubles began. On a 500-mile journey across land and sea, they survive on their smarts, charm and the kindness of strangers – especially free-spirited musician Cait (Maisie Williams, Game of Thrones), who’s fleeing problems of her own.
