Simplistic nearly to a fault, Alexander Payne's Nebraska is a charming story that centers around the relationship between a father and his son.
Bruce Dern stars as Woody Grant, a Missouri father who's convinced he's won a million dollar magazine sweepstakes. After being found walking along the highway to get his winnings, his son (Forte) agrees to give him a ride to Nebraska to claim his prize. Their journey, easy in nature, proves to be anything but as an unexpected detour leaves them facing the past head on, for both better and worse.
