Based on the true-life, best-selling memoirs of Brian Keenan and John McCarthy, Blind Flight tells the harrowing, but ultimately uplifting, story of the Irish teacher and the English journalist who were kidnapped and held together as hostages in Beirut during the mid-1980s. Despite their different backgrounds and political perspectives, the two men form an unlikely friendship, one that gives them the strength to survive through four-and-a-half years of torture and soul-destroying adversity.
