In 1994, Alvin Straight (Richard Farnsworth)–a 73-year old from Laurens, Iowa–wanted to take a 240-mile journey to reconcile with his brother in Blue River, Wisconsin. But failing eyesight prevented Alvin from getting a driver's license. His solution: drive his John Deere lawn tractor instead. During the trip, Alvin reminisces, overcomes adversities, and meets friendly strangers. Farnsworth was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor, the oldest actor to have received a Best Actor nomination.
