Synopsis:

In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country.

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.
