# 8 Mile (2002)

2002 · R · 106 min · Drama, Music · Germany, United States


## Synopsis

8 Mile is a 2002 American hip-hop biographical drama film produced and directed by Curtis Hanson from a script written by Scott Silver. It stars Eminem in his feature film debut, alongside Kim Basinger, Brittany Murphy, and Mekhi Phifer. Containing autobiographical elements from Eminem's life, the film follows Detroit rapper Jimmy Smith Jr., also known as B-Rabbit, as he attempts to launch a career in hip-hop, a music genre dominated by African Americans. The title is derived from 8 Mile Road, the road between the predominantly black city of Detroit and the largely white suburban communities to the north that Eminem originally lived in.
