Amy (Ana Paquin) moves to Ontario to live with her father (Jeff Daniels) after the death of her mother. Her father, an aviation expert, helps Amy lead a flock of orphaned geese south for the winters.

Fly Away Home dramatizes the actual experiences of Bill Lishman who, in 1986, started training Canada geese to follow his ultralight aircraft, and succeeded in leading their migration in 1993 through his program "Operation Migration."

The film is also based on the experience of Dr. William J.L. Sladen, a British-born zoologist and adventurer, who aided Lishman with the migration.

Director: Carroll Ballard.

Based on Bill Lishman's autobiography.

Screenplay by Robert Rodat and Vince McKewin.
