DVD
Straight outta Compton / Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures present in association with New Line Cinema/Cubevision/Crucial Films a Broken Chair Flickz production ; produced by Ice Cube [and five others] ; screenplay by Jonathan Herman and Andrea Berloff ; directed by Gary Gray.
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 viewers back to where it all began, the film 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.
