He is picked up by his son, David (Will Forte), who learns that Woody wants to go to Lincoln, Nebraska to collect a $1 million sweepstakes prize he has won. When David sees the sweepstakes letter, he realizes that it is a mail scam to make a person purchase magazine subscriptions. He returns Woody to his home, where David's mother Kate (June Squibb) becomes annoyed by Woody insisting on collecting his money. After Woody is picked up again, David and his brother Ross (Bob Odenkirk), a local news anchor, discuss putting Woody in a retirement home. David is paid a visit by his ex-girlfriend Noel (Missy Doty), who is returning his things, refusing to move back in. Their conversation is cut short by a call from David's mother reporting that his father has left yet again. David retrieves Woody and decides to drive him to Lincoln, much to Kate's dismay. While in Rapid City, South Dakota, Woody goes on a drinking bender and hits his head while stumbling back to their motel room. David takes him to the hospital, where they realize Woody has lost his dentures. They retrace Woody's steps and find them. David learns that they will be passing through Woody's hometown of Hawthorne, Nebraska, and suggests they stay the night with Woody's family. Woody is against the idea, but they end up going anyway. The following day, they arrive in Hawthorne and stay with Woody's brother Ray (Rance Howard) and his family. Woody and David visit a mechanic shop Woody once owned and then a local bar. When David brings up Woody's alcoholism and problems within the family—with Woody implying that he did not love his wife nor really want children—they get into an argument. In another bar, they encounter Woody's former business partner, Ed Pegram (Stacy Keach), whom the family blames for stealing Woody's air compressor decades ago. Over David's objections, Woody mentions winning the money and the customers of the bar give him a toast. The next morning, they learn that the news has spread through the town. Kate arrives in Hawthorne by bus and David takes her and Woody to the cemetery. There, Kate pays her respects while providing some colorful history on Woody's relatives, particularly their sex lives. That night, while David is out to dinner with Woody and Kate, Ed approaches him in the bathroom about some money Ed loaned Woody years ago that has not been repaid and threatens legal action. David meets a local newspaper owner who had been planning a story on Woody to tell her the truth about the "sweepstakes". He discovers that she is Woody's ex-girlfriend and learns a little more about his dad, including how he was affected when he came back from the Korean War. The rest of Woody's family, including Ross, come to visit him. Woody's nephews, Cole and Bart (Devin Ratray and Tim Driscoll), and others approach David and Ross about getting money that they believe Woody owes them. A fight begins, ending abruptly with Kate calling out the relatives for their own unpaid debts. David, Kate, Ross and Woody tour Woody's childhood home, which has fallen into disrepair. They drive past a house Kate says is Ed's, so David and Ross elect to steal back the air compressor. However, Kate comes to realize that the house actually belongs to another couple, whom Kate distracts when they arrive home so the brothers can return what they have stolen. At the bar, Ed, in the midst of asking Woody for the money, reveals that Woody cheated on Kate before David's birth. When leaving the bar, they are attacked by a masked Bart and Cole, who steal the sweepstakes letter and take off. When David confronts them, they say they threw it away after finding out it was a scam. Nevertheless, David and Woody go searching for it. They go into a bar, where they find Ed reading the letter aloud to the other patrons to humiliate Woody. After Woody takes the letter back and goes outside, David punches Ed out. Woody has repeatedly said he wants to buy a truck with the money. He cannot drive any more, but Woody tells his son that he also wants to leave something for his family when he passes. David says that they are not going to Lincoln, at which point Woody collapses. David takes him to the hospital in Norfolk. In the middle of the night, Woody abruptly leaves and starts walking, so David again agrees to drive Woody to Lincoln. They arrive at the marketing agency to collect the money, where they discover that Woody did not win. His consolation gift is a hat that reads "Prize Winner". David goes to a car dealership and sells his car to buy Woody a truck along with a new air compressor. While driving back through Hawthorne, David lets Woody drive the truck down Locust Street for all to see. Among them is Woody's former flame who smiles at him, a nonplussed Ed with a black eye, and Woody's brother Albert. Woody waves goodbye and drives the truck out of town, then stops in the road and switches seats with David, who drives them home. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nebraska (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
