The Straight Story (25th Anniversary)
Unable to drive a car, an elderly man sets out on a remarkable journey aboard a lawn mower.
When Alvin Straight learns that his estranged brother is seriously ill, he decides to visit him. Unable to drive a car, he undertakes the long journey on his lawn mower. Along the way, he meets a variety of people and reflects on his life, family relationships and past choices.
Wanneer Alvin Straight hoort dat zijn vervreemde broer ernstig ziek is, besluit hij hem op te zoeken. Omdat hij geen rijbewijs meer heeft, legt hij de lange reis af op zijn grasmaaier. Onderweg ontmoet hij uiteenlopende mensen en krijgt hij de tijd om terug te blikken op zijn leven, familiebanden en gemaakte keuzes.
