When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.<\/p>\n<p>Starring <strong>O\u2019Shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins and Jason Mitchell<\/strong> as <strong>Ice Cube, Dr. Dre<\/strong> and <strong>Eazy-E<\/strong>, STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON is directed by <strong>F. Gary Gray<\/strong> (Friday, Set It Off, The Italian Job).<\/p>\n<p>The drama is produced by original N.W.A. members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, who are joined by fellow producers Matt Alvarez and Tomica Woods-Wright. Will Packer serves as executive producer of the film alongside Gray.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OrlLcb7zYmw?rel=0\" height=\"315\" width=\"580\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-69214 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/octavia-spencer-joins-cast-of-snow-piercer\/octavia-spencer-4-5\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Octavia-Spencer-4-5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Octavia-Spencer-4-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Octavia-Spencer-4-5-192x192.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Octavia-Spencer-4-5-384x384.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Octavia-Spencer-4-5-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Octavia-Spencer-4-5-220x220.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Octavia-Spencer-4-5-311x311.jpg 311w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Octavia-Spencer-4-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Octavia-Spencer-4-5-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/john-madden-talks-shakespeare-in-love-blu-ray-release\/shakespeare-in-love-blu-ray-5\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Shakespeare-in-Love-blu-ray-5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Shakespeare-in-Love-blu-ray-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Shakespeare-in-Love-blu-ray-5-192x192.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Shakespeare-in-Love-blu-ray-5-384x384.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Shakespeare-in-Love-blu-ray-5-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Shakespeare-in-Love-blu-ray-5-220x220.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Shakespeare-in-Love-blu-ray-5-311x311.jpg 311w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Shakespeare-in-Love-blu-ray-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Shakespeare-in-Love-blu-ray-5-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/intruders\/intruders-poster-5\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Intruders-poster-5-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Intruders-poster-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Intruders-poster-5-192x192.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Intruders-poster-5-384x384.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Intruders-poster-5-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Intruders-poster-5-220x220.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Intruders-poster-5-311x311.jpg 311w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Intruders-poster-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Intruders-poster-5-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"margin: 5pt 1em 1em 5pt;
