HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – Called “poignant and hilarious”(Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service), “genuinely touching” (Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly) and “damn near perfect”(Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), the “brilliant, wisely observed and wryly funny” (Claudia Puig, USA Today) NEBRASKA makes its Blu-ray, DVD and VOD debut on February 25, 2014 from Paramount Home Media Distribution. The film will arrive on Digital and Digital HD February 18.
Hailed as “an American masterpiece” (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times), NEBRASKA is nominated for six Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, Best Director (Alexander Payne), Best Actor (Bruce Dern), Best Original Screenplay (Bob Nelson), Best Supporting Actress (June Squibb) and Best Cinematography (Phedon Papamichael).

From Academy Award-winner Alexander Payne, the director of Sideways and The Descendants, comes the captivating story of a father (Bruce Dern) and his adult son (Will Forte) who embark on a journey to claim a million-dollar prize; what begins as a fool’s errand becomes a search for the road to redemption.
