Douglas plays Harry, a one-time prize fighter who embarks on a life-changing road trip with his son Lance (Dan Aykroyd) and teenage grandson (Corbin Allred). Feisty at 80 despite a recent stroke, Harry is faced with the prospect of being sent to a retirement home by his family.

Instead of giving in to a sheltered life, Harry convinces Michael and Lance to join him in search of thirteen long lost diamonds.

Harry leads the younger men on a touching and comic adventure across Nevada, where the trio encounters all sorts of trouble. Along the way, they meet up with pit bosses, gangsters, an intriguing madam named Sin-Dee, portrayed by Lauren Bacall, and the women in her brothel, including the irrepressible Jenny McCarthy.

In the end, Harry and his family discover that nothing is more important than the time they shared together. [More]
