Cocaine Bear is inspired by a true story from 1985 where a convicted drug smuggler named Andrew C. Thornton II threw a duffel bag full of cocaine out of a plane he was piloting to get rid of some weight. A bear found the duffel bag and ingested all of its contents, and the drug smuggler died when he jumped out of the plane with a faulty parachute. The bear was found dead three months later next to 40 plastic containers.
Cocaine Bear hits theaters on February 24.
