Plot summary
Retired farmer and widower Alvin Straight learns one day that his estranged brother Lyle has suffered a severe stroke. Alvin is determined to make things right with Lyle while he still can, but his brother lives in Wisconsin, while Alvin is stuck in Iowa with no car and no driver's license. He then has the idea of making the trip on his old lawnmower, thus beginning a picturesque and at times deeply spiritual odyssey.

Great watch. Thanks
This movie and the terrific Elephant Man (both 'conventional' movies) prove that Lynch's range may be the widest and greatest of any American filmmaker. Ever.
Excellent film, and one of the few works of Lynch's that the whole family can watch. Lovers of "Anne of Green Gables" from the 1980s will enjoy Richard Farnswoth in his final role.
a really beautiful and sad movie
Lyle: Did you ride that thing all the way here to see me? Alvin:I did Lyle.
RIP David Lynch, you are forever loved
RIP David Lynch.
Great film a simple tale, but loaded with emotion makes you want to call your grandpa
This movie is David Lynch's best. It tugs at the heart strings and is sincere throughout.
