“Do something,” David Grant’s ex-girlfriend implores him early on in Nebraska. About 40 years old and with a steady job selling stereos, he seems to be just waking up to the fact that his life may well be half-finished and he’s not made much of an impact on the world. When his father, Woody (Bruce Dern), challenges him with the question “What have you got keeping you here?” David hasn’t got an answer. So he decides to grant his dad’s request to be driven from Billings, Montana, to Lincoln, Nebraska, to collect a million-dollar prize.
