Based on the book of the same name by the well-known romancenovelist Nicholas Sparks (The Best of Me, Dear John, The Notebook). The film intertwines two love stories, that of Champion bull rider Luke and college student Sophia, with that of Ira and his memories of his relationship with his beloved wife.
Sophia finds unexpected love with Luke. Their two worlds collide, Luke born and raised in the country, Sophia a city girl aiming for a career in New York’s art world. They are met with many challenges, especially concerning the dangers of Luke’s job, and their relationship is tested to the limit. Meanwhile Ira, a 90 year old man who has just been involved in a car crash, holds on only with the memories of his wife Ruth.
The Longest Ride looks to be another wonderful film adaption of one of Nicholas Sparks’ amazing romance novels, full of heartfelt moments, passion and the message that enduring love brings the upmost rewards.
