Walt's teenage Hmong neighbors, a shy Thao (Bee Vang) and his feisty sister Sue Vang Lor (Ahney Her), live with their widowed mother and grandmother. A Hmong gang, led by Thao's older cousin Spider (Doua Moua), tries to persuade Thao to join them. Thao's initiation is to steal Walt's prized car, a 1972 Gran Torino Sport. Walt interrupts the robbery, forcing Thao to flee. After a few days, Spider's gang visits Thao and attempt to assault him. Although his family tries to fend off the gang, the conflict ends when Walt, who fought in the United States Army's 1st Cavalry Division, threatens the gang members with his M1 Garand rifle and orders them to get off his lawn. They leave the neighborhood, telling Walt to watch his back. The Vang Lors thank a grumpy and impatient Walt, who insists he only wanted the "gooks" off his property. When the neighborhood hears what Walt did, they leave him gifts on his porch.
After seeing Sue being harassed by three black teenagers, while her "date" (Scott Eastwood) cannot help her, Walt confronts the teenagers and threatens them with his Colt 1911 pistol. Sue gets to know Walt, and invites him to a family barbecue on his birthday. She explains Hmong culture, telling him that the Hmongs fought as an United States ally during the Vietnam War. Thao's family then visits Walt, and to atone for his attempted theft of the Gran Torino, Thao is forced to work for Walt. Walt has Thao clean up the neighborhood and then helps Thao get a construction job.
Walt visits the doctor when he discovers blood when he coughs. After hearing his poor test results, he awkwardly calls Mitch to talk. When the gang mugs Thao and burn his face with a cigarette, Walt beats one of the gang members in retaliation. The gang returns days later and shoots up Thao's home. Sue, who was away from the house, returns, beaten and raped. Father Janovich visits Walt, and they discuss what Walt will do about what happened to Thao's family. He eventually goes to confession with Father Janovich, who after hearing a few old, and somewhat minor, sins, tells Walt to pray.
An angry Thao urges Walt to take vengeance on the gang with him, but Walt locks him in the basement, saying he does not want him to live with the consequences of killing someone. Walt tells Thao about a sin that haunted him every day—killing an enemy soldier who wanted to surrender. Walt then leaves his dog Daisy with Sue's grandmother, and before driving to confront the gang, calls Sue and tells her free Thao. Outside the gang's house Walt berates them for the shootout and raping of Sue. As the gang members show their automatic weapons, Walt watches as neighbors begin to witness the events unfold. He takes out a cigarette from his jacket, and asks the gang for a light. He begins praying and then reaches into his jacket. Thinking Walt is going to shoot, the gang fires upon Walt. A shot of an unarmed Walt lying dead on the ground, reveals he had grabbed his Zippo lighter. Thao and Sue arrive and are told that the gang has been arrested and will be imprisoned for killing an unarmed man. Hmong neighbors who witnessed the killing break their code of silence and testify against the gang members.
At Walt's funeral, Father Janovich delivers a memorable eulogy. Thao's family sit opposite Walt's large extended family, which has Mitch wondering how the Vang Lors know Walt. In his will, Walt leaves his house to the church, and his Gran Torino to Thao, much to the disappointment of his family. In the final scene, Thao drives the Gran Torino up Lakeshore Drive with Daisy next to him.
