After stubborn, aging Southern widow, Miss Daisy (Jessica Tandy), crashes her car into the neighbour's fence, her son insists on hiring her a driver.

As the years pass the unlikely friends develop a deep mutual respect and admiration, and slowly build a relationship that transcends their differences. This bittersweet and funny film won 4 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress.
