Driving Miss Daisy is a heartwarming, Academy Award-winning story of an unlikely friendship. When 72-year-old Daisy Werthan is no longer able to drive, her son hires Hoke Colburn as her chauffeur. Despite her initial resistance, Hoke’s patience and kindness gradually win her trust.

Starring Jessica Tandy, Morgan Freeman, and Dan Aykroyd, the film celebrates understanding, respect and human connection.
