2005 · 120 min · Documentary

The true story of the legend who inspired the biggest name in rap.

In 1987 at the height of New York’s brutal crack cocaine epidemic, one man terrorized the city’s most notorious gangstas. Armed with a bulletproof vest and an arsenal of weapons, he robbed and extorted many of Brooklyn’s biggest hustlers. A cold-blooded crook, he was the hoods version of Billy the Kid, knowing that one day he would ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Most knew him simply as 50 Cent.
