Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates) meets an elderly woman named Ninny Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy) in a nursing home waiting room. Ninny tells her the story of the now-abandoned town of Whistle Stop, Alabama, and the people that lived there - specifically the tale of the relationship between Imogen (Idgie) Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison, the two women who ran the Whistle Stop Cafe. As the story of Idgie and Ruth (and a missing person, Frank Bennett) develops, Evelyn Couch finds herself being empowered by the stories of the strong-willed Idgie and the fiercely loyal and independent Ruth. She also finds a true best friend in Ninny. The action takes place in Alabama. The heroine, Evelyn Couch, is a housewife. Evelyn is unhappy with her life and her marriage and her husband Ed appears not to be interested in her any more. Their son Cal is grown and is "busy with his own life." She has many problems including needing more confidence in herself. She and Ed often go and visit his aunt, who is in a nursing home. This aunt further compounds Evelyn's self esteem problems by having violent temper tantrums whenever she sees Evelyn, no matter how nice Evelyn is to her. During one visit to the nursing home Evelyn retreats to the waiting room, while Ed visits with his aunt, and she meets a very pleasant old woman - Ninny Threadgoode. Ninny tells her stories about the life of two women she knew long ago. The heroines of her story are Idgie Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison, who together ran the Whistle Stop Cafe in Ninny's small Alabama hometown. The signature dish served there is fried geen tomatoes. From Ninny's recollections, Evelyn learns that Ruth loved Idgie's brother Buddy, who lost his life in a railway accident. Then follows the story of the relationship between Ruth and Idgie. Ruth and Idgie's story is about their life after Buddy's death. Idgie helps Ruth to become free from her abusive husband, Frank Bennett. These two strong women work together to raise Ruth's son and face the trials of life during and just after the Great Depression. The recollections of Ninny greatly influence Evelyn. First, she is inspired by the strength of these two independent women, and Evelyn's life changes for the better. Secondly, she finds a true best friend in Ninny. Evelyn invites Ninny to live with her after Ninny's house in Whistle Stop is demolished.
