Tough-minded Nebraska farmer Mary Bee Cuddy (Hilary Swank) volunteers to transport three unfortunate madwomen to an Iowa church to be cared for, after none of the men in her community step up to take on the daunting task. To assist her, Cuddy recruits scruffy, desperate drifter George Briggs (Tommy Lee Jones)--with the ensuing journey across unforgiving countryside one of struggle and surprise. Unique western drama, directed/co-written by Jones from the 2008 novel, co-stars Meryl Streep, John Lithgow. 123 min.
