The film is based on a true story that made national news about pensioner Bernard Jordan who in 2014, absconded from his care home in Hove, Sussex, to attend an event in France marking the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings. After the local Police were notified the care home got a call that evening to say Mr Jordan had been found safe and well in France. He returned a few days later having made his way to the event.
