Vi følger Selma, en ung tjekkoslovakisk enlig mor, der er emigreret til Washington, USA. Langsomt er hun ved at blive blind, og selv om denne kendsgerning har en hård, sørgmodig virkning på os som tilskuere, synes Selma at være upåvirket. For at spare penge op til en operation, der skal forhindre sønnen, som har arvet hendes øjensygdom, i at lide samme skæbne som hende selv, arbejder hun som fabriksarbejder. Den sidste lidenskab, hun har tilbage i en verden, der er ved at syne væk fra hende, er musik og dans, så når virkeligheden synes for trist og grå og til tider decideret ond, flygter hun ind i en musical, der udspiller sig i hendes inderste hjerte.
Som en blanding mellem opfinderen Thomas Edison og ridderen Don Quijote besidder Burt Munro (Anthony Hopkins) både en veludviklet kreativitet og en ukuelig stædighed, når det kommer til motordrevne køretøjer. Igennem en menneskealder har han drømt om at sætte fartrekord på sin gamle Indian Scout motorcykel. Nu er han efterhånden kommet så langt op i årene, at hvis den gamle drøm skal få hjul at køre på, er det ved at være sidste udkald. Året er 1967, da Munro begiver sig ud på sit livs rejse mod de saltede, flade sletter i Bonneville, Utah, hvor fart-entusiaster én gang hvert år tester klodens hurtigste køretøjer. Men for Munro, der er bosat i New Zealand, er Utah på den anden side af Jorden, og turen dertil bliver en ikke helt ukompliceret affære.
