Every once in a while, a movie arrives in theaters that is seemingly so bonkers that you must watch it. For 2023, it may be Cocaine Bear based on a true story.

In this comedy horror, Cocaine Bear stars Keri Russell (The Americans), O’Shea Jackson, Jr. (Straight Outta Compton), Christian Convery-Jennings (Sweet Tooth), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Brooklynn Prince (The Florida Project), Isiah Whitlock Jr. (BlacKkKlansman), Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones), Hannah Hoekstra (2019’s Charlie’s Angels), and Aaron Holliday (Sharp Objects), with Margo Martindale (The Americans) and Ray Liotta (The Many Saints of Newark). Elizabeth Banks (Charlie’s Angels, Pitch Perfect 2) directed the movie from a screenplay written by Jimmy Warden (The Babysitter: Killer Queen).

Here is the official synopsis:

Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner’s plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy 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.
