The Straight Story is a David Lynch film based on the true story of Alvin Straight's 1994 journey across Iowa and Wisconsin on a lawn mower. 

Seventy-three year old Alvin Straight learns that his brother Lyle Straight, from who he has been estranged for ten years, has just suffered a heart attack. Alvin wants to make peace with his brother before it's too late. As he doesn't possess a driver's license and since his eyesight is bad, he decides to make the trip driving his aged riding lawn mover, hoping he reaches his brother before any of them give out for good….

This brilliant true life road trip tells a story that touches all those Alvin encounters on a journey he just had to make.
