Synopsis:
Jack
Nicholson
stars
as
Warren
Schmidt,
a
man
who
is
set
adrift
following
retirement
and
the
sudden
death
of
his
wife.
Uncertain
about
his
future
as
well
as
his
past,
Warren
packs
up
his
30-foot
Winnebago
to
set
out
on
a
journey
across
the
Nebraska
plains
to
attend
his
daughter's
(Hope
Davis)
wedding
to
a
waterbed
salesman
(Dermot
Mulroney).
But
every
step
he
takes
seems
wrong,
and
Warren
seems
destined
to
end
his
life
as
he
lived
it:
a
failure.
But
along
the
way,
Warren
recounts
his
journey
and
shares
his
observations
with
an
unexpected
friend
-
a
poor
Tanzanian
boy
he
is
sponsoring
for
73
cents
a
day.
In
his
long
letters
to
the
boy,
Warren
begins
to
see
himself
and
the
life
he
has
lived
with
new
eyes.
