overview
What is The Straight Story about?
A true story that proves a little determination goes a very, very long way. 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. It blends drama, adventure elements. The film reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director David Lynch. With a runtime of 1h 52m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
