STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON – In Theaters August 14
In
1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats,
put their frustration and
anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most
powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking us back to where it all
began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural
rebels—armed only with their lyrics, swagger,
bravado and raw talent—stood up to the authorities that meant to keep
them down and formed the world’s most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as
they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the
hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that
is still reverberating today.
Straight
Outta Compton stars O’Shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins and Jason
Mitchell as Ice Cube, Dr.
Dre and Eazy-E, and is directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off,

Cube and Dr. Dre, who are joined by fellow producers Tomica
Woods-Wright, Matt Alvarez, Gray and Scott Bernstein. Will
Packer serves as executive producer of the film alongside Adam Merims,
David Engel, Bill Straus, Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni.
