The Last Ride is a 2004 American action drama television film directed by Guy Norman Bee and starring Dennis Hopper, Will Patton, Chris Carmack, Nadine Velazquez and Fred Ward.

The movie premiered on June 2, 2004, on the USA Network and, at the time of its release, was primarily used by General Motors to market the new Pontiac GTO.

During the police chase, Purnell's wife tragically loses her life, leaving their son Aaron to be raised by, California Highway Patrol Officer Darryl Kurtz.

However, Aaron's son, Matthew, is a San Diego street racer, is very interested in his grandfather's exciting past.

Rob Cohen came up with the idea for the film while directing commercials for the 2004 Pontiac GTO.
