Fiercely independent and penny-pinching Miss Daisy (Jessica Tandy) is appalled when her nephew decides she is too old to drive and hires her a black chauffeur (Morgan Freeman). Set in the Deep South of the 1950s and 60s, the film touches on racism and prejudice but mainly focuses on the developing relationship between the wealthy Jewish woman and her chauffeur, who she initially ignores, then accepts and finally befriends.The film won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay.
