Cocaine Bear: The incredible true story of a bear, nicknamed Pablo Escobear, who ate $15 million worth of cocaine.

Characters including Ray Liotta – his final film role – and Keri Russell are forced to contend with the cocaine-addled beast.

In 1985, drug smuggler Andrew Thornton was flying cocaine from Colombia in a Cessna aircraft over the state of Georgia, where he dropped packages of the substance worth millions.The 40-year-old - who was previously a narcotics officer - then parachuted out, leaving the Cessna to crash, but fell to his death in the driveway of a home in Knoxville, Tennessee.

He had 75 pounds of cocaine on him and thousands in cash, as well as two pistols, night vision goggles, a bulletproof vest and Gucci loafers.The bear launches a rampage after taking cocaine - a significant deviation from the real story.Investigators traced his flightpath and found nine duffel bags containing cocaine that he had dropped from the Cessna.

The amount the bear had eaten was worth millions of pounds, with a medical examiner in Kentucky saying the animal's stomach was "literally packed to the brim with cocaine"."There isn't a mammal on the planet that could survive that," the examiner said.
