Indaba
I-Gran Torino iphathelene noWalt Kowalski, isisebenzi sezezimboni esasemhlalaphansi seF Ford, ohlala isikhathi eside esihlala endaweni ehla. Inhliziyo yendaba igxile ebuhlotsheni bukaKowalski obunobungane nabakhelwane bakhe abaseduze nabakwaHmong.

Ukubeka ku-Script
Ngesikhathi izindawo ezisetshenziselwa iGran Torino zaseDetroit, ingabe indaba yayikhona lapha? Ingabe le ndaba yayisekelwe emzabalazweni womuntu wangempela endaweni yaseD Detroit?
Impendulo emfushane ayikho. Isimiso sokuqala salolu daba kwakunguMinneapolis, Minnesota, ikhaya lomdwebi wesikrini uNick Schenk, kanye nenani elikhulu labantu baseHmong. Empeleni, iningi lama-250,000 eHmong e-United States lihlala eWisconsin, Minnesota naseCalifornia. Ngokwe-athikili e- Los Angeles Times , umbhali wesikrini sokuqala uSkhenk wabhala lesi script ebhajini ngenkathi eshiya umsebenzi wakhe ekwakhiweni. Eqinisweni, le ndaba ihamba eduze kweGran Torino ngoba uSchenk wayehlala esitshalweni seF Ford futhi wayefuna imoto ibe yindlela yakwa Ford, hhayi njenge-ode edlalwa yi-Eastwood edumile e-Dirty Harry indima.
Ukubeka ku-Movie
I-Eastwood isetshenziselwa indawo yaseDetroit esikhundleni sezindawo zaseMinnesota ngenxa yokuvuselelwa intela entsha okunikezwa nguMichigan. Kwasiza ukuthi iDetroit inabantu baseHmong, nakuba kungenakuqhathaniswa neseMinnesota. Indawo yedolobha ibuye ibe nezindlu eziningana ze-Ford. Ngenkathi i-Eastwood isebenzisa indawo kuyo yonke indawo yakwaMetro Detroit engase ibonakale ngabomakhelwane, ukuhlelwa kwe-movie akukhulunywanga kahle. Siyazi ukuthi uKowalski uhlala eMidwest futhi ungumsebenzi wezezimboni waseFrance, futhi, ngesinye isikhathi, kubonakala uphawu lwe "Charlevoix". Umzila ohamba eduze kweLake Shore Drive eGrosse Pointe Farms ekupheleni kwe-movie kubonakala ukutshela ngenxa yeLake St.
I-Clair ngemuva, kodwa irekhodi eliqondile kakhulu livela endaweni ehilela indodana kaKowalski lapho ezama ukusebenzisana nobaba ukuze athole amathikithi wonyaka we-Lions - lesi simo kungenzeka ukuthi sibheke njengento engokoqobo uma i-movie isethelwe eMinnesota, lapho iVikings amathikithi asadingeka.
