Universal has unleashed the redband trailer for the N.W.A. biographical drama Straight Outta Compton [SOCMP] with an introduction from Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. Directed by F. Gary Gray [FGGRA], Straight Outta Compton hits theaters on August 14th.
In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. 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.
