The Straight Story

Synopsis

An elderly widower and retired farmer in Iowa learns that his estranged brother in Wisconsin has suffered a serious stroke and may not recover. Determined to repair their fractured relationship before it’s too late but unable to drive—he has no car and no valid license—he decides to traverse the miles on his old riding mower. What begins as a stubborn, practical solution becomes a slow, scenic pilgrimage across rural America, marked by chance encounters, quiet humor, and moments of unexpected spiritual reckoning.
