Trucker (2008) Movie Details: Here is the summary, star cast, and availability for the 2008 independent drama film, Trucker.
Trucker (2008) Movie Summary
Trucker centers on Diane Ford, a fiercely independent and free-spirited long-haul truck driver in California. Diane leads a life on the road, free from deep commitments and responsibilities, which includes an estranged relationship with her young son, Peter, whom she essentially abandoned ten years prior.
Her life of aggressive independence is disrupted when her ex-husband, Peter’s father, becomes gravely ill and is hospitalized. Diane is forced to return home to Oakland to care for her 11-year-old son, who is an aggressive loner himself.
The film explores the difficult and reluctant bond that forms between the absent mother and the son she barely knows, as Diane is challenged to confront her past choices and decide whether she can or wants to step into the role of a mother.
