Unable to earn enough money to live, or grow enough food to eat, the Joads leave behind the dust-laden farms of the 1930s Midwest and head for what they imagine to be the gold mountains of California. But when they arrive, the naive and trustful family runs up against innumerable disasters, both natural and man-made.
