Corporate billionaire Edward Cole (JACK NICHOLSON) and working class
mechanic Carter Chambers (MORGAN FREEMAN) are worlds apart. At a crossroads
in their lives, they share a hospital room and discover they have two
things in common: a desire to spend the time they have left doing everything
they ever wanted to do before they “kick the bucket” and
an unrealized need to come to terms with who they are.
Together they embark on the road trip of a lifetime, becoming friends
along the way and learning to live life to the fullest, with insight
and humor.
Each adventure adds another check to their list.
