Blow is a 2001 drama film about the American cocaine smuggler George Jung, directed by Ted Demme (who later died of a cocaine-related heart attack). David McKenna and Nick Cassavetes adapted Bruce Porter's 1993 book Blow: How a Small-Town Boy Made $100 Million With the Medellin Cocaine Cartel and Lost It All for the screenplay. It is based on the real-life story of George Jung, Pablo Escobar, Carlos Lehder and the Medellín Cartel. The film's title comes from a slang term for cocaine.
