Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner’s plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, Cocaine Bear is a wild dark comedy-thriller that finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow … and blood.

Directed by Elizabeth Banks (Charlie’s Angels, Pitch Perfect 2), the film stars Keri Russell (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Margo Martindale (Family Squares), and the late Ray Liotta (Goodfellas)
