Nebraska racconta la storia di Woody, un anziano del Montana che scappa ripetutamente di casa nel tentativo di raggiungere il Nebraska, dove è convinto di dover ricevere un ricco premio della lotteria. Preoccupati dal suo stato mentale, i familiari dibattono a lungo sul metterlo o meno in una casa di cura, fino a quando il figlio David decide di accompagnare il padre in questo folle viaggio. Lungo il tragitto i due si fermano un paio di giorni nel piccolo villaggio natale di Woody dove, sotto gli occhi del figlio, ripercorre il suo passato dando vita a una commedia intensa e commovente.
