Production

The film was based on a story by Michael Syson, who worked for the BBC. Director Anthony Harvey said Syson "wrote it as kind of a short story, a series of ideas with a very strong story line but not really a script."

The film attracted Harvey "as a chance to break away from the subjects I have done before, really to have complete freedom. It was a film with a very thin script in a way but it had a very strong story. It didn't have much detail and no dialogue at all, except for the first ten minutes between Harvey Keitel and Sam Waterston. It was very much a director's subject."

Harvey said "The moment I read Eagle's Wing I knew very clearly the kind of things I wanted visually, and talked to Billy Williams for days about it."

Harvey says he and John Briley sat down and wrote a script "for about a month before we went on location, just to make sense of it."

"It's about the way we spend our lives reaching for the unobtainable," said Harvey. "We search for something which is, sadly, seldom found. The impossible dream, if you like."
