Bill Paxton, Bridget Fonda, and (in an Oscar-nominated role) Billy Bob Thornton star in this cash-grab crime thriller directed by Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead), with an Academy Award-nominated script from Scott B Smith, adapting his own novel.

Alvin Straight learns that his estranged brother Lyle has had a stroke. Wanting to make amends before it's too late - but without a car or driver's license - Alvin decides to make his odyssey from Iowa to Wisconsin on his ancient ride-on lawnmower.
