The Bucket List — A long time ago, Carter Chambers’ (Morgan Freeman) philosophy professor suggested that his students compose a “bucket list,” a collection of all the things they wanted to do, see and experience in life before they kicked the bucket. But myriad responsibilities turned Carter’s bucket list into little more than a bittersweet memory of lost opportunities. Meanwhile, corporate billionaire Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) never saw a list without a bottom line. He was always too busy making money to think about what his deeper needs might be. Then life delivered an urgent and unexpected wake-up call to both of them. Carter and Edward found themselves sharing a hospital room, where they discovered they had two very important things in common: an unrealized need to come to terms with who they were and the choices they’d made, and a pressing desire to spend the time they had left doing everything they ever wanted to do. So, against doctor’s orders and all good sense, these two virtual strangers check themselves out of the hospital and hit the road together for the adventure of a lifetime.
