In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural rebels-armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent-stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world’s most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still reverberating today.
1987年代中期，加州康普顿的街头因犯罪、毒品、黑帮等问题成为美国最危险的地方之一，五个出身此地的年轻人：爱斯•库柏（小奥谢拉•杰克逊 O’Shea Jackson Jr. 饰）、MC Ren（阿尔迪斯•霍吉 Aldis Hodge 饰）、德瑞博士（科里•霍金斯 Cor ey Hawkins 饰）、DJ耶拉（小尼尔•布朗 Neil Brown Jr. 饰）、Eazy-E（杰森•米切尔 Jason Mitchell 饰）集合起来，组成了说唱组合N.W.A，将他们的成长经历转化成粗鲁直接的音乐，并借此向当局传达他们的反抗心声。
