Review: A bear finds cocaine in the woods, gobbles it up and goes on a deadly rampage in the horror-comedy 'Cocaine Bear,' directed by Elizabeth Banks

Like “Snakes on a Plane” and “Sharknado,” “Cocaine Bear” seeks to entice an audience with an amusingly trashy title. But the title is by far the most noteworthy element of this lumpy horror-comedy.

One of those “inspired by true events”—i.e., almost wholly fictitious—stories, “Cocaine Bear” takes place in 1985, when a cocaine trafficker fell to his death from a plane in Tennessee while ditching duffel bags full of the stuff. In real life, some of the bags landed in the woods of Georgia, where a black bear ingested the drugs and died.
