In the movie, Dern, 77, plays Woody Grant, a spacey veteran who receives a letter telling him hes won a million dollars via a fake sweepstakes. Despite protests from his wife, Kate (June Squibb) and son, David (Will Forte), Grant decides to leave his Montana home and set out for his big prize in the cornhusker state. Its like a Don Quixote story, says Travers. This is a guy who believes what people tell him. And the message thats in this movie is that nobody can trust anybody nobody can believe what happens.
