Review:

Now available to own on Bluray + Digital HD is the romantic-drama The Longest Ride. Directed by George Tillman, Jr., the film stars Britt Robertson (Tomorrowland), Scott Eastwood, Jack Huston, Oona Chaplin and Alan Alda. Special Features include deleted & extended scenes, audio commentary by director George Tilman, Jr. and actress Oona Chaplin, A Writer's Journey: A Day in the Life of Nicholas Sparks, Beyond the Ride, Bringing It to Life, Meet the Reel Bull Riders, Luke's Bull Riding School and a gallery.

Based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks, The Longest Ride centers soon-to-be college graduate Sophia Danko (played by Britt Robertson), who attends a rodeo with her best friend Marcia (played by Melissa Benois). Afterward, she bumps into the former bull rider champion Luke  Collins (played by Scott Eastwood) and sparks instantly fly between the two. Though Sophia is going to head off to New York for an internship at an art galley in two months, she starts a romantic relationship with Scott.

Late one night after a date, they come across a car accident and Scott helps rescue an elderly man named Ira Levinson (played by Alan Alda). Just as Scott pulls Ira out, he mumbles about a box in his car, so Sophia searches the car and finds the box.
