Wissenswertes
Richard Farnsworth was terminally ill with bone cancer during the shooting of the film, which had caused the paralysis of his legs as shown in the film. He actually took the role out of admiration for Alvin Straight, and astonished his co-workers with his tenacity during production. Because of the pain of his disease, Farnsworth committed suicide the following year, at the age of 80.

Patzer
Alvin is shown crossing the Mississippi River on the Black Hawk Bridge at Lansing heading westward into Iowa, instead of eastward into Wisconsin. This bridge, in real-life, isn't in the vicinity of Prairie du Chien; rather, it would have been the Marquette-Joliet Bridge that he crossed.

Zitate
Alvin Straight: The worst part of being old is remembering when you was young.

Undistorted & Plumbed to Perfection...

No matter where you are on your journey, the meanders past, present and still to come, you'll take something from this endearing tale about an elderly man and his adventures on a very long journey to see his brother by mini tractor. Meeting and interacting with numerous people on his way, who each have a relatable story to share, along with a few the old timer shares with us - you're left feeling reflective on your own directions, what they mean and where it is they're taking you, and those around you too. Beautifully performed, filmed and scripted, it's never too late to rebuild bridges broken, or indeed, build new ones into the future.
