Walt is a grumpy, widower, Korean War vet who holds onto his prejudices despite the changes in his Michigan neighborhood and the world around him. When his neighbor Thao, a Hmong teenager under pressure from his gang, tries to steel Walt's Gran Torino, Walt takes him under his wing and conforms the troubled teen. After taking time to actually get to know Thao, Walt helps and protects his family from the surrounding gangs. This film takes place in a neighborhood dominated by poor Asian familes in Detroit Michigan.
Side Note: The Hmong are an Asian ethnic group from the mountainous regions of China, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.
