Ride the Eagle is a 2021 American comedy film directed by Trent O'Donnell, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jake Johnson.

Leif Reinhold, a 40ish, perpetually adolescent man working as a band percussionist, lives in his friend Gorka's shed in Los Angeles, and is devoted to his black labrador Nora.

Honey has left him her wood cabin in Yosemite – under the condition of completing a to-do list, explained on a pre-recorded video.

Not only does the rock band of youngsters for which he plays bongos wants him out, but the shed where he was living at the back of his property has been deemed illegal, and has to be destroyed.

That night, the mysterious angry neighbor breaks into the cabin and, similarly to calls he had made earlier, insults him in a jealous way.

Ride the Eagle was announced on May 18, 2021, when Decal acquired the distribution rights to the project and gave it a release date for July 30, 2021.
