An American black bear consumes cocaine and goes on a wild killing spree in this horror-comedy.
As far as movie titles go, they don’t get much more outrageous and sensational than Cocaine Bear.
The horror-comedy, directed by Elizabeth Banks, is inspired by a true event that occurred in 1985 – an American black bear discovered and consumed a duffel bag full of cocaine that had been dropped in the wilderness by drug smugglers.
In the real story, the poor bear simply overdosed and was found dead in the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia, but in this imaginary tale, she goes on a manic killing spree.
Those at risk of a run-in with ‘Pablo Escobear’ include forest ranger Liz (Margo Martindale), animal rights activist Peter (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), local mum Sari (Keri Russell), her daughter Dee Dee (Brooklynn Prince), her friend Henry (Christian Convery) and drug dealers Daveed (O’Shea Jackson Jr.) and Eddie (Alden Ehrenreich), who are trying to recover their supply for their boss Sydney (the late Ray Liotta).
