In the late-'80s streets of Southern California, a group of young rappers and DJs started crafting hip-hop with a hard edge unheard in the East...and they'd ultimately change the course of the American music industry. The rise and split of N.W.A.--and the bonds and tensions between founders Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson, Jr.), Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins), and Eazy-E (Jason Mitchell)--are unforgettably explored in this comprehensive biopic; Neil Brown, Jr., Aldis Hodge, Paul Giamatti also star. R-rated version; 147 min./Director’s cut; 167-min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
