Walt Kowalski
is a widower who holds onto his prejudices despite the changes in his
Michigan neighborhood and the world around him. Kowalski is a grumpy,
tough-minded, unhappy an old man, who can't get along with either his
kids or his neighbors, a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a
1972 Gran Torino he keeps in mint condition. When his neighbor Thao, a
young Hmong teenager under pressure from his gang member cousin, tries
to steal his Gran Torino, Kowalski sets out to reform the youth. Drawn
against his will into the life of Thao's family, Kowalski is soon taking
steps to protect them from the gangs that infest their neighborhood.
