The Longest Ride (2015) intertwines two love stories across generations. Luke Collins (Scott Eastwood), a professional bull rider, and Sophia Danko (Britt Robertson), an art student, fall in love despite their clashing dreams—Luke’s dangerous career and Sophia’s aspirations in the art world. After rescuing Ira Levinson (Alan Alda) from a car crash, Sophia begins reading letters he wrote to his late wife, Ruth, revealing their enduring love story from the 1940s.

Ira and Ruth faced challenges, including infertility after Ira’s war injury, but their love endured, symbolized by their valuable art collection. In the present, Luke wins a championship but realizes he values Sophia more than bull riding. After Ira’s death, Luke buys a sentimental painting at an auction, unknowingly inheriting the entire $200 million art collection. The film ends with Luke and Sophia reconciling, opening an art gallery in honor of Ira and Ruth’s legacy.
