| Cocaine Bear - Movie |
A coked-out bear goes on a murderous rampage in this film inspired by a real-life case and featuring Keri Russell and O'Shea Jackson Jr.
The cocaine was dropped in September, and the bear was found in December.
According to officials interviewed by reporters in 1985, police officers located the 175-pound apex predator surrounded by 40 opened containers of the drug in question. The story — as printed in The New York Times at least — was brief, barely even 100 words long. But the details — the plane piloted by a cop turned smuggler, the offloaded drugs, the Draconian Nixon-era “War on Drugs,” the forest, the bear on blow — are catnip for the imagination.

Cocaine Bear
The Bottom Line
No thoughts, just vibes.
Elizabeth Banks’ highly anticipated adventure Cocaine Bear
gorges on the “what ifs” of the case. What if the bear encountered
people before it died? What if there were witnesses to its blood-thirsty
addiction? What if it was a mother, and a symbol for humanity’s idiotic
hubris in the natural world?
