Story: An old man makes a long journey by lawnmower to mend his relationship with an ill brother.

Seventy-three year old Alvin Straight is a simple living and stubborn man who lives on his social security. He needs to do things on his own terms. He is in failing health. Both his hips are shot, which requires him to use two canes to walk. He is diabetic. He has emphysema from years of smoking. And he has poor eyesight. Beyond the obvious maladies, he doesnt tell his mentally disabled daughter Rose, who lives with him, of many of these issues. He learns that his brother Lyle Straight, from who he has been estranged for ten years, has just suffered a heart attack. Because of both his and Lyles mortality, Alvin wants to make peace with his brother before its too late, which means traveling from his home in the rural town of Laurens, Iowa to Lyles home in rural Mount Zion, Wisconsin. As with other issues in his life, he needs to make the trip on his own terms, which means on his own. As he doesnt possess a drivers license and since his eyesight is bad, he decides to make the trip driving his aged riding lawn mover towing a trailer which will carry his gear and double as his sleeping quarters. After one mis-start, he is on his way. On that trip, he affects and is affected by those he encounters. But he just hopes that he can finish the trip the way he started it, and before either he, Lyle or the lawn mower give out for good.

Alvin Straight, an ailing, white-haired septuagenarian, is in bad shape; but, his estranged older brother, Lyle, is even worse. With bad hips, failing eyesight, and no means of transportation available, cigar-smoking Alvin sets out on an arduous, pride-swallowing, 320-mile journey from Laurens, Iowa to Mount Zion, Wisconsin, to make peace with Lyle who has suffered a stroke. Now, riding an entirely unfit and unsafe 1966 John Deere lawn tractor, the endless stretches of road become a living canvas, as Alvin encounters the quiet rosy sunrises and the tranquil orange sunsets of the vast Midwest, an unexpected assortment of people, and the kindness of strangers. But, above all, a brother is a brother, and Alvin knows that, in this snail-paced odyssey of reconciliation and love, he has to persevere. Oh, God, is there something good about getting old?
