Synopsis
In light of a longstanding family rift, Gou-ichi Takata (Ken Takakura) has sought solace in an isolated Japanese fisherman's village for many years. When Gou-ichi receives word that his son Ken-ichi (Kiichi Nakai) may be on his deathbed, he sets out to Tokyo in hopes of making peace.

However, Ken-ichi refuses to see Gou-ichi even in his last days. In an attempt to unite father and son, Ken-ichi's wife Rie (Shinobu Terajima) gives Gou-ichi a videotape that explains Ken-ichi's love of performing and his dream of seeing famous Chinese actor Li Jiamin onstage. To win the heart of his son back, Gou-ichi makes a journey across the land of China to find and film Li Jiamin. On his way, he learns valuable lessons about family, forgiveness, and redemption. Directed by three-time Oscar-nominee Yimou Zhang, Riding Alone For Thousands Of Miles marks the return of respected actor Ken Takakura to the screen after a five-year hiatus.
