Running Scared (2006)

Hannah Montana: the Movie is based on the Disney Channel TV series Hannah Montana, a show starring Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus, a father-and-daughter team from Tennessee. The movie and the TV series are connected to each other, as both focus on the main story line of Miley as she navigates life with an alter-ego, the famous popstar, Hannah Montana.

Though no stranger to challenges, Miley Cyrus makes the most difficult choice of her life in Hannah Montana: The Movie. She has adjusted to tapping into "The Best of Both Worlds"--an average school girl and a celebrity--but now has to choose just one over the other.

When Miley is forced to spend two weeks in her hometown, located on a farm in Tennessee, for her grandmother's birthday, she soon discovers what's been missing from her lavish lifestyle. The film adds a personal touch: the farm featured is based on the one Miley grew up on Franklin, Tennessee. The viewers learn small but endearing details, like that she spent most of her time riding horses in the countryside. Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, was a famous country singer at the time, setting Miley apart from many other teenagers in rural Tennessee. Miley Cyrus's character, Miley Stewart, recognizes her old pet horse called "Blue Jeans" when she returns to her old stomping grounds. This lovable creature symbolizes a country lifestyle that Miley has grown fond of.

Miley's childhood also involved braiding her pet horses' tails and learning horseback riding. In one moving scene, all of the Miley's family members gather around Grandma Ruby to celebrate her birthday, viewers can distinguish between two music genres: pop and country. Billy Ray Cyrus's character, Robbie, is seen wearing a cowboy hat playing an acoustic guitar, a perfect contrast to the glitzy persona of Hannah Montana.
