Blow -- Blow gives us a fast-paced look at the quick rise and fall of George Jung who became a premier importer of Colombian cocaine, forever changing the face of drugs in America.

The story of George Jung, the man who established the American cocaine market in the 1970s.

There's no money in a "real job." So George Jung deals pot. Lots of it. The blue-collar kid dubbed Boston George spirals up from there, into the riches and excesses of the huge cocaine cartels. And crashes hard. Johnny Depp portrays George, the ambitious outlaw who, perhaps more than any American, transformed powder cocaine from relative obscurity in the U.S. into a 1970s/80s feeding frenzy. Penelope Cruz costars in this riveting, fact-inspired tale of glitz and glamour, fast times and hard time, betrayal and Blow.
