The 'Cocain Bear' is based on a true story. In 1985, a black bear was found dead in the woods in Georgia. It had ingested a large amount of cocaine that had been dropped from a drug - smuggling plane. The bear's overdose on cocaine led to its death. The movie based on this event takes some creative liberties but is rooted in this strange real - life incident.
Well, Cocain Bear isn't based on a true story. It's more of a fictional concept that the filmmakers came up with to bring something unique and thrilling to the screen.
