Academy Award-winner Jack Nicholson ("The Bucket List," "As Good As It Gets") stars as Warren Schmidt, an embittered man who has just retired after 32 years as an insurance company actuary. When his wife dies suddenly, Warren packs up the 35-foot Winnebago that he and his wife had planned to travel the country in and sets out on a journey across the Nebraska plains to Denver, Colorado, for his daughter's wedding to a waterbed salesman whom Warren despises. Every move Warren makes seems wrong, and he appears destined to end his life as he lived it: a failure. But along the way, Warren recounts his journey to and shares his observations with an unexpected friend -- a poor Tanzanian orphan whom Warren 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 -- in a new light.

Un jour, Warren prend la route vers le Nebraska où Jeannie, son unique fille, est sur le point de se marier.

Als auch noch seine Frau Helen stirbt, droht er völlig zu verwahrlosen, denn mit dem Rentnerdasein kommt Schmidt überhaupt nicht zurecht.

Als Schmidt zusätzlich herausfindet, dass seine verstorbene Frau mit seinem besten Freund Ray im Bett war, bricht seine Welt völlig zusammen. Er macht sich darauf in einem Wohnmobil auf eine Reise zu Orten aus seiner Vergangenheit, um sich selbst wieder finden zu können.

Warrens kone gennem 42 år er pludselig gået bort, så nu sætter han sig bag rattet i sin nyindkøbte camper og begiver sig mod Denver for at gøre det godt igen med datteren, selvom han hader hendes kommende mand, Randall, af et godt hjerte. For at gøre ondt værre er Warren absolut heller ikke begejstret for sin svigerfamilies noget frisindede og bondske opførsel, så Warren indser at han for alt i verden må forhindre, at Jeannie bliver gift med Randall.
