In the action-packed comedy Ride Along, released in 2014, we follow the misadventures of Ben Barber, a high-school security guard played by Kevin Hart, who is desperate to win the approval of his fiancée Angela's brother, a tough-as-nails Atlanta detective named James Payton, portrayed by Ice Cube. Ben, a self-proclaimed video game enthusiast, believes that his acceptance into the police academy marks a turning point in their relationship. Eager to prove himself worthy of Angela and to earn James's blessing to marry her, Ben finds himself on a chaotic ride-along that quickly escalates from a simple test of courage to a thrilling night filled with unexpected dangers.
