Shot on location in the spectacular outback of Australia, THE LAST RIDE brings to mind Clint Eastwood’s ‘A Perfect World’ in its depiction of a devastating and tender emotional journey, seen through the eyes of an innocent young boy and his father on the run from the law…

Nine-year-old Chook is going on an adventure with his father Kev. Just the two of them, father-and-son. It’s every little boy’s dream.

Except Chook’s life is far from ideal. And Kev is far from an ideal father – a convicted petty criminal with a fragile temper and a violent streak, Kev is an emotionally stunted bully whose idea of affection is clip around the ear. Chook never knew his mother. Kev is all the family he has.

To make matters worse, they’re traveling in a stolen truck, struggling to escape the consequences of yet another of Kev’s violent acts of criminality. Journeying from town to town, hoping for a break from one of their few remaining friends, Kev and Chook soon find themselves with nowhere to turn.

Together they travel deep in to the hostile landscape of the Australian outback, on the run from the law in the search for somewhere they can start again. But before too long, Chook is faced with the daunting reality that the responsibility of their survival lies at his feet and he is forced to make a decision that tests both his love for his father and his desire to do what’s right…
