Lionsgate Films (formerly known as Cinépix Film Properties) is an American film production and film distribution studio, headquartered in Santa Monica and founded in Canada, and is the flagship division of Lionsgate Entertainment. It is the largest and most successful mini-major film studio in North America. It focuses on foreign and independent films and has distributed various commercially successful film series, including The Hunger Games, Rambo, Divergent, The Punisher (prior to Marvel Studios acquiring its rights back in 2013), John Wick, Saw, Madea, Blair Witch, Now You See Me, Hostel, The Expendables, Sinister, The Twilight Saga and Step Up (both partially, via the firm's 2012 acquisition of two series' distributor Summit Entertainment. The latter was distributed by Disney's Touchstone Pictures since its first film).
Jack Hart and Theo Ramires are young, wandering musicians travelling the American backroads in 1967, scraping by on tiny gigs and cheap breakfasts. Their bluesy‑indie sound is raw but full of heart, and their friendship is the anchor of their drifting lives. Everything changes when they meet Allison “Allie” Pond at Jim Hardy’s bar — a witty, wonder‑filled drifter who joins their travels and becomes the missing piece of their makeshift family. Their music deepens, their joy grows, and Jack and Allie fall quietly, naturally in love. But when talent scout Dan Cole and ruthless record executive Evelyn Stone offer Jack a shot at fame, he takes it. The industry reshapes him, pushing Theo aside and dimming Allie’s spark. Heartbroken, Allie returns home to her sister Amelia and Amelia’s partner Victor, settling into a stable but joyless life. Theo and Allie try to stay close, but without Jack, their bond becomes a painful reminder of what they lost. Jack spirals under fame’s weight until his hero, Chuck Weathers, warns him of the cost. Jack walks away and returns to Jim’s, where he finally confronts the truth: he abandoned the people who made him whole. He finds Allie and apologises honestly, offering not promises but music — for her, for Theo, for joy. Allie chooses to risk her heart again. Years later, Jack, Allie, their daughter Piper, and Theo reunite in sunlight, playing music not for fame, but for love.
