Blown Away is a 1994 action film starring Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones. It was directed by Stephen Hopkins.
Ryan Gaerity (Tommy Lee Jones), an Irish terrorist, escapes from his cell in a castle prison in Northern Ireland.
In faraway Boston, meanwhile, Lt. Jimmy Dove (Jeff Bridges) is a veteran disposal technician for the police bomb squad. He irritates his captain, partner and everyone else when he plays hero and disarms explosives.
Nobody, except for his uncle Max (played by Jeff's real life father Lloyd Bridges), knows of Jimmy's dark past. Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, Jimmy's actual name is Liam McGivney. He had been friends and partners with Gaerity, who, unbeknownst to Liam, was a freelance terrorist. After a botched attempt to stop Gaerity led to the bomber's imprisonment and the death of his girlfriend (Gaerity's sister), Liam fled to Boston and became Jimmy Dove.
Gaerity comes to Boston to seek vengeance against Jimmy, who is semi-retired but working as an instructor. Gaerity begins taunting his old protégé with threats and his homemade explosives and causing the deaths of Jimmy's colleagues Blanket, Cortez and Rita. With his new family now in danger, Jimmy reveals his secret to his wife Kate (Suzy Amis). He returns to action to hunt for Gaerity, while an officer named Anthony Franklin (Forest Whitaker) investigates Jimmy, suspecting a connection between the two.
This is the story about Ryan (Luke Farrugia), a photographer whose passion towards photography led him to meet a foreign exchange student, Mia (Maxine Aquilina) in Malta. The film follows their journey and the ever growing bond between the two by living every moment as if it were their last.

Swimming all around in confusion
It takes me for a ride
Hearing the bells that are ringing
I think I'll run and hide
It's crazy what you seem to do
Every now and then
It's crazy what you seem to do
When you're wasted with people and you don't even care
Well in mocking you and mocking me
Dealing with mentality I'm blown away

When I try to sleep
Hearing the evil minded
That prey upon the weak
Well I think about the Boogie Man

Whose coming through my door right now

We can be free if you want to

Every time I look around
I think "Oh God I think I'm gonna make me a man that I am"
