Blown Away is a 1994 action thriller film starring Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones. It was directed by Stephen Hopkins.
Irish terrorist Ryan Gaerity (Tommy Lee Jones) escapes from his cell in a castle prison in Northern Ireland, killing a guard and his cellmate in the process, after turning a toilet into a bomb.
In Boston, Lt. Jimmy Dove (Jeff Bridges) is a veteran member of the police force's bomb squad, on the verge of retirement and helping to train newer recruits.
Dove hides that he is really Liam McGivney, a former member of a Northern Ireland terrorist cell. Dove had been friends with Gaerity, but when Gaerity tried to set off a bomb that would have killed numerous civilians, McGivney (now Dove) interceded, ending in the death of his girlfriend, Gaerity's sister and leading to Gaerity's imprisonment. Devastated, McGivney/Dove had moved to Boston and took on the Dove identity, hoping to find atonement in defusing bombs and saving others. Only Dove's uncle Max O'Connor (Lloyd Bridges) is aware of this past and expresses his desire for Dove to retire earlier, having clearly shown his atonement.
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.
