When he hears his brother Lyle (Harry Dean Stanton), with whom he hasn't spoken in years, is ailing Alvin decides to go visit him and make peace. But since Alvin's eyesight is bad and his daughter (Sissy Spacek) refuses to drive him, he sets out on the 500-mile journey from Laurens, Iowa to Mt. Zion, Wisconsin on a John Deere lawnmower. It's slow going, so there's plenty of time to stop for the night and ponder the cosmos. Along the way, he befriends a variety of nice folks, and you have to ask yourself: is this really a David Lynch movie? It's a miracle that this wholesome film was made by a director whose work is often described as twisted and bizarre. But Lynch is too complex an artist to be labelled, and he brings charm, grace and kindness to this story based on a newspaper clipping. Moreover, The Straight Story has a serenity rarely found in movies anymore. It's a film of moments--funny, odd, quietly spiritual--and this simple tale of a man, a lawnmower and rural hospitality becomes a genuine Lynchian odyssey, unlike any film you've seen but as welcoming as a cup of lemon tea with honey. Best of all, it's a fitting tribute to the career of veteran stuntman-actor Farnsworth who, at age 79, plays Alvin Straight to sheer perfection, his face a subtle roadmap to a broad spectrum of emotional destinations. -- Jeff Shannon ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Actors | Everett McGill, Harry Dean Stanton, John Farley, Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek | | Asin | B00004SX6X | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 2.35:1 | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Director | David Lynch | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Language | English | | Media Format | PAL | | Number Of Discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 18.03 x 13.76 x 1.48 cm; 100 g | | Producers | Mary Sweeney, Neal Edelstein | | Release Date | 19 May 2000 | | Run Time | 1 hour and 47 minutes | | Studio | Vci | | Writers | John Roach, Mary Sweeney | ## Images ![The Straight Story [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614jE+m1Z8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 August 2026* Incredible story, incredible actors. I am sorry I rented it. If I had known how good the movie is, I would have bought it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 November 2001* I have just finished watching The Straight Story finally after trying to catch it for some months. There are only a few movies that touch something deep inside, a raw emotion that changes the way you think about all that is dear to you. Forgiveness, redemption, compassion, the simple things in life such as family and friends, the place where you grew up, a clear night sky.But the Straight Story is so much more. It is a simple tale of a man who, in his own words "has seen just about all there is to see" and yet realises that before he dies, he has one wrong left to undo.So Alvin Straight drives his lawnmower 300 miles to see a brother that he hasn't spoken to in over ten years. He refuses help along the way, telling those on the road that he has to do this in his own way; this is his rite of passage. Amends perhaps for estranging his own brother...Along the way, he meets many people and he tells them a little of his story which helps to show us a little more of Alvin's motives. One of the most poignant is his conversation with a fellow old timer about their deeds during the War. Another favourite scene is when he's talking to a runaway about the strength to be found in family.Visually, I have always liked David Lynch's work and the Straight Story, despite being a massive departure from his usual surrealist approach is trademark Lynch. The cinematography is simply stunning. The wide camera angles and slow movement conveys and enhances the American midwest and seems to compliment somehow the peaceful yet dilligent frame of mind of the central character.Richard Farnsworth is brilliant as Alvin Straight. Deep rheumy eyes and a heavily wrinkled face show a man who has lived and yet burdened with with his own regrets.The supporting characters that Alvin meets along the way are good and honest people. Such a nice change from all the badness in the world. And his final meeting with Lyle, his brother, is pure magic. Hats off to Harry Dean Stanton who, when he asks Alvin if he drove all the way on a lawnmower just to see him and Alvin says yes, the look in his eyes he gives back closes the film beautifully.Put simply, The Straight Story is an honest and gentle tale of human goodness and only those without a soul could find this film less than enjoyable. Definitely one for the DVD collection and a movie that deserves to become a classic. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A straight good movie *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 August 2026* Beautiful movie.
