Summary
based on an untitled spec written by Jimmy Warden. It is inspired by true events that took place in Kentucky in 1985, when a 175-pound black bear had consumed the contents of a duffle bag dropped from a drug smuggler’s airplane containing around 70 pounds of cocaine. In that case, the bear was later found dead of an overdose without harming anyone, but as {Cocaine Bear} is a thriller, that may not be the case in the movie.
