Following the economic collapse of a company town in rural Nevada, Fern (Academy Award® winner Frances McDormand) packs her van and sets off on the road exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day nomad. The third feature film from director Chloé Zhao (The Rider) and winner of the Golden Lion at this year’s Venice Film Festival, Nomadland features real nomads Linda May, Swankie, and Bob Wells as Fern’s mentors and comrades in her exploration through the vast landscape of the American West.
