Jewish widow Miss Daisy must overcome her own fears, prejudices, and insecurities to do the most simple of tasks – travel.  Her son finds Hoke, who is eventually able to convince Miss Daisy to let him be her driver despite her completely stubborn attitude.  Over time the two form an amazing friendship that transcends race and age.  Daisy finds out that Hoke is illiterate, and she begins to give back to him by teaching him how to read.  Driving Miss Daisy is a powerful reminder that anyone can change, and that two people no matter how different, can always become great friends.
