Retired farmer and widower Alvin Straight learns one day that his distant brother Lyle has suffered a stroke and may not recover. 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.
The Straight Story is a Drama film released in 1999.

Movie Dialogue Sample
00:42:45,688 --> 00:42:48,690
- Where's that?
- Wisconsin.
275
00:42:48,691 --> 00:42:52,068
- Oh...
- Just across the state line.
276
00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:53,319
Cheddar Heads.
277
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,571
(Both chuckle)
278
00:42:54,572 --> 00:42:56,614
Aren't those the dumbest things
279
00:42:56,615 --> 00:43:00,076
you ever seen somebody stick on their head?
280
00:43:00,077 --> 00:43:04,205
I hear that's
a real party place - Wisconsin.
281
00:43:09,128 --> 00:43:12,046
Guess I'll never get to find out.
282
00:43:19,179 --> 00:43:22,098
There's a blanket in the trailer.
283
00:43:22,099 --> 00:43:24,976
Why don't you go get it?
284
00:44:11,607 --> 00:44:13,733
My family hates me.
285
00:44:18,364 --> 00:44:21,824
They'll really hate me when they find out.
286
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:27,205
You didn't tell 'em?
287
00:44:27,206 --> 00:44:30,500
No. No one knows.
Not even my boyfriend.
288
00:44:40,302 --> 00:44:43,054
Well, they may be mad,
289
00:44:43,055 --> 00:44:47,433
but I don't think they're
mad enough to wanna lose you
290
00:44:47,434 --> 00:44:50,311
or your little problem.
291
00:44:50,312 --> 00:44:52,563
I don't know about that.
292
00:44:52,564 --> 00:44:57,568
Well, of course, neither do I,
but a warm bed and a roof
293
00:44:57,736 --> 00:45:02,448
sounds a might better
than eatin' a hot dog on a stick
294
00:45:02,449 --> 00:45:06,202
with an old geezer that's
travellin' on a lawn mower.
295
00:45:15,003 --> 00:45:17,630
My daughter Rose is...
296
00:45:17,631 --> 00:45:22,051
Some people call her
a little bit slow but she's not.
297
00:45:22,052 --> 00:45:26,806
She's got a mind like a bear trap for facts.
298
00:45:28,642 --> 00:45:33,479
She keeps everything organised around the house.
299
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,023
She was a real good mom.
300
00:45:36,024 --> 00:45:39,026
She had four kids.
301
00:45:39,027 --> 00:45:44,031
One night, somebody else was watchin' the kids
302
00:45:44,408 --> 00:45:47,869
and there was a fire.
303
00:45:47,870 --> 00:45:52,165
Her second boy got burned real bad.
304
00:45:52,166 --> 00:45:55,710
Rose had nothin' to do with it but, ah...
305
00:45:55,711 --> 00:45:59,672
...on account of the way Rose is,
the State figured
306
00:45:59,673 --> 00:46:03,176
she wasn't competent to take care of them kids
307
00:46:03,177 --> 00:46:06,512
and they took 'em all away from her.
308
00:46:06,513 --> 00:46:11,851
There isn't a day goes by that
she don't pine for them kids.
309
00:46:25,699 --> 00:46:27,116
(Fire crackling)
310
00:46:29,870 --> 00:46:34,874
When my kids were real little,
I used to play a game with 'em.
311
00:46:35,793 --> 00:46:39,337
I'd give each one
of 'em a stick and -
312
00:46:39,338 --> 00:46:44,133
one for each one of 'em -
then I'd say "you break that."
313
00:46:44,134 --> 00:46:46,677
'Course they could, real easy.
314
00:46:46,678 --> 00:46:51,682
Then I'd say "tie them sticks in
a bundle and try to break that".
315
00:46:52,392 --> 00:46:57,396
'Course they couldn't.
Then I'd say "that bundle...
316
00:46:58,482 --> 00:46:59,899
...that's family."
317
00:47:16,583 --> 00:47:19,335
Why don't you sleep in the trailer?
318
00:47:19,336 --> 00:47:23,923
This chair's just fine for me tonight.
319
00:47:23,924 --> 00:47:28,052
No, I'll be fine sleepin' out here.
320
00:47:28,053 --> 00:47:31,347
Lookin' at the stars helps me think.
321
00:47:33,559 --> 00:47:34,976
Well...
322
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:54,871
Thank you.
323
00:48:13,599 --> 00:48:15,016
(Birds)
324
00:49:22,542 --> 00:49:23,960
(Hum of lawn mower)
325
00:50:03,625 --> 00:50:05,042
(Distant thunder)
326
00:50:10,132 --> 00:50:11,549
(Big thunderclap)
327
00:50:52,841 --> 00:50:54,091
Woo!
328
00:53:13,773 --> 00:53:15,065
What the?
329
00:53:18,904 --> 00:53:20,196
What the hell?
330
00:53:49,726 --> 00:53:52,144
Hey, how're you doin'?
331
00:53:52,145 --> 00:53:53,395
Doin' good.
332
00:54:19,965 --> 00:54:21,257
(Hum of lawn mower)
333
00:54:21,258 --> 00:54:22,558
(Cheers and applause)
334
00:54:37,607 --> 00:54:39,108
Hey, Irene.
335
00:54:39,109 --> 00:54:43,654
You don't think about
gettin' old when you're young.
336
00:54:43,655 --> 00:54:45,281
You shouldn't.
337
00:54:54,582 --> 00:54:57,459
Must be something good about gettin' old.
338
00:54:57,460 --> 00:55:02,464
Well, I can't imagine anything
good about being blind and lame
339
00:55:03,967 --> 00:55:06,260
at the same time, but... still
340
00:55:06,261 --> 00:55:11,265
at my age, I've seen about all
that life has to dish out.
341
00:55:12,058 --> 00:55:15,227
I know to separate the wheat
342
00:55:15,228 --> 00:55:20,316
from the chaff and let
the small stuff fall away.
343
00:55:23,737 --> 00:55:25,362
Let's go, man.
344
00:55:27,782 --> 00:55:31,535
So, ah... what's the
