The Hands of Cormac Joyce is a 1972 telemovie.

Plot

A proud fisherman off the Irish Coast fights to save his land from an approaching storm as other villagers evacuate to the mainland.[1]

Production

The film was a U.S.-Australian co-production. It was shot in Australia with Phillip Island substituting for Aran Island.[2] Many of the crew had worked on the TV show Homicide, but some of them had to be replaced during the shoot as it was realised they did not have the experience to make a 35mm film shot on location.[3]
