"Cocaine Bear" is a 2023 American comedy horror film directed by Elizabeth Banks and written by Jimmy Warden. The film is loosely inspired by the true story of an American black bear that ingested nearly 75 lb (34 kg) of lost cocaine. The bear was found dead in the mountains of Fannin County, Georgia, just south of the Tennessee border. The film stars Keri Russell, OShea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery, Alden Ehrenreich, Brooklynn Prince, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Margo Martindale, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Ray Liotta. Prior to the films release, the story behind Cocaine Bear went viral on social media. The film depicts the bears drug-induced trail of terror and the victims he leaves behind. The bloody spree that follows the bears cocaine binge, as depicted in the trailer, is fictional, but the story about a high bear is very real. The real story behind the bear highlights the effects of human recklessness when it comes to the wildlife around them.
