Clint Eastwood stars in this drama, which he also directed and produced. Eastwood plays cantankerous retired autoworker Walt Kowalski, whose pride and joy is a 1972 Gran Torino, a car he helped build when he worked at Ford. He lives alone in a house in a Detroit neighborhood that is becoming rundown and filling up with immigrants. The family next door is Hmong, a mountain people from Southeast Asia, and Walt refers to them using various racial epithets. But when their teenage boy starts getting pulled into a gang, Walt takes matters into his own hands to try to set things right.
