Plot Synopsis
Belfast, 1970. As chaos gathers momentum, two boys become unlikely friends, then fugitives, blood brothers and bank robbers. Nine-year-old Jonjo lives in a middle class area while "over the bridge" lives eight-year-old Mickybo and his very large family.
The two meet when Jonjo gets caught up in one of Mickybo's many scrapes and then bond over 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' at the local cinema.
Enthralled by the outlaw way, they soon find that events in their own lives have conspired against them and that the only option is to break for the border...
