In the spring of 1903, on a whim and a fifty-dollar bet, Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson set off from San Francisco in a 20-horsepower Winton touring car hoping to become the first person to cross the United States in the new-fangled "horseless carriage."

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip is a solid entry rated 7.4/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.

A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.

A 2003 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
