Cocaine Bear has arrived, replacing The Revenant. While the former is based on a genuine story about a 19th-century man who survives a bear attack and subsequently seeks vengeance, Cocaine Bear is based on a stranger-than-fiction actual story about a bear on a drug trip.
The film, directed by Elizabeth Banks and produced by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, is set to be a wild, darkly humorous recounting of the episode that you’ll have to watch to believe (Twitter can’t believe this is a real movie).

What is the Plotline of Cocaine Bear?
Given the vast quantity of literary skill in our global creative lake, it can be shocking when a story is factual outside of documentaries. Cocaine Bear is one such story. With a genuine story as amazing as this one, the writers may stay true to life.

Cocaine Bear began in December 1985. A prominent drug smuggler and former narcotics officer piloting a plane thought his cargo was too heavy. He threw a cocaine-filled duffle bag out of the plane to reduce his weight.
After chasing after his belongings, Andrew C. Thornton II tried to deploy his parachute but failed and fell to his death below. This story is only beginning. A 175-pound American black bear ate the over $15 million duffel bag of cocaine.
The film may focus on the bear’s drug-fueled killing spree. Due to its non-fiction character, the rest of the story has been thoroughly chronicled, but to avoid film spoilers, it may be best to stop there.

The official synopsis from Universal reads:
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.
