Life isn't about winning or losing. It's about how you get there in the end

Woody Grant, a quiet older man from Billings, Montana, walks along the shoulder of a highway on the outskirts of town. A sheriff stops him and asks where he is going. Woody replies that he is headed to Nebraska, a trip that is far too long for him to make on foot, so the police notify his family. His son David, with whom he barely has a relationship, has to deal with the situation. Woody insists that he has won a million dollars in a sweepstakes and must pick up the prize in Lincoln. His family believes it is a mail scam, but he has no intention of giving up the trip. Directed by Alexander Payne, the film stars Bruce Dern, while Will Forte plays David.

Trivia about Nebraska

The decision to shoot in black and white was made against the wishes of the distributor, Paramount Vantage, which also received a color master copy. Payne said he hopes no one ever watches it.
Paramount wanted a major star, so Gene Hackman, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, Jack Nicholson and Robert Forster were all on the initial list for the role of Woody. Hackman and Nicholson had retired, and Duvall and De Niro turned the role down.
Bryan Cranston auditioned for the role of David, but Payne felt he was not right for the character.
Filming began in December 2012, after starting in Nebraska in November, but it ran 35 days over schedule. Along the way, the production stopped in Billings, Buffalo and Rapid City.

Quotes by Nebraska

  • [to David] Have a drink with your old man. Be somebody!
  • [upon learning Woody has "won" a million dollars] I never knew the son of a bitch even wanted to be a millionaire! He should have thought about that years ago and worked for it!
  • Ross Grant: [in a physical altercation with his cousin] Hey, watch the face, okay? I'm on TV.
  • I ain't fiddlin' with no cow titties. I'm a city girl!
  • [lifts her dress and flashes a tombstone] You see this? You could have had all this to yourself, and look what you missed out on.
