Bruce Dern and Will Forte play father and son in this new Midwestern tale from Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendents, About Schmidt). Dern's character is a stubborn old man who sets out on foot from Montana to Nebraska to collect his imagined sweepstakes winnings. We're really looking forward to Nebraska. Expect it mid-December.
