Russ Millings has just been released from prison after serving 21 years for a 3rd strike conviction for possessing an ounce of marijuana. As he tries to adapt to a world he doesn’t recognize – including trying to learn how to use the internet – he finds an abandoned baby in a dumpster behind the fast food restaurant where he works as a dishwasher. Unsure of what to do, and caught between impulses of kindness and panic, Russ soon realizes this could be his chance at redemption. Starring Ethan Hawke in a critically acclaimed performance, Adopt a Highway “will simultaneously warm and shatter your heart” (Marisa Mirabal, Birth.Movies.Death.)

Raw. When film making touch reality really close
Such a little film... Everything but Elaine's character is kinda beautiful.
Ethan hawke is great, but the story is just dull without a really satisfying resolution. At least for me.
Ethan hawke is captivating as always as a hopeless man trying to find purpose through fatherhood but it honestly feels rushed and unfinished
