After receiving a sweepstakes letter in the mail, a cantankerous father (Bruce Dern) thinks he’s struck it rich, and wrangles his son (Will Forte) into taking a road trip to claim the fortune. Shot in black & white across four states, Nebraska tells the stories of family life in the heartland of America with an authenticity that has become synonymous with writer/director Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants).
