Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) has worked hard his whole life to build his hospital corporation into a Fortune 500 company.

As CEO, Edward is on top of the world when cancer comes knocking on his door.

In the hospital, Edward is put into a room with another cancer patient, Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman).

The doctors have given both the news that they have six-months to a year to live.

Carter just blocks out the bad news and continues watching Jeopardy on TV, because he knows all the answers.

When Carter was young, he was able to attend the first year of college,

but when his wife got pregnant, Carter found work as an automobile mechanic.

Carter remembers that in one of his classes the professor gave them an assignment

to fill out a Bucket List of the things you want to do in life before you kick the bucket.

Carter starts writing his list of things to do.

Edward sees the list and writes some other things to do like skydiving and race car driving.

They both decide to leave the hospital and embark on fulfilling all the things on the bucket list.
