Nothing sounds more ridiculous than the thought of a black bear taking pounds of cocaine and going on a rampage for more. But that’s the premise of Universal Pictures’ latest dark comedy action film, Cocaine Bear. Elizabeth Banks directed this hilarious story written by Jimmy Warden, which is inspired by the 1985 death of ex-narcotics officer Andrew Thornton. After ditching over 800 pounds of cocaine mid-flight, Thornton’s stash is scattered throughout the state of Georgia. And when a black bear gets a hold of it, its quick addiction proves to be incredibly dangerous for anyone who stands in its way of getting more.
