"Bear Believed To Have Overdosed On Cocaine Dropped By Parachutist" was the actual headline of a report from the Associated Press in December 1985.
In February 2023, Elizabeth Banks and screenplay writer Jimmy Warden brought that story to the big screen with Cocaine Bear.
Now, you can skip the theater ad watch the comedic horror film at home with Amazon Prime Video.
