The World's Fastest Indian (2005)

For twenty-five years in Invercargill, New Zealand, Burt Munro has been working on increasing the speed of his motorcycle, a 1920 Indian. Dreaming of taking it to the Bonneville Salt Flats, he mortgages his house and takes a boat to Los Angeles. There, he buys an old car, builds a makeshift trailer, and heads for Utah, encountering various obstacles and charming people along the way with his open, direct friendliness.
