The film begins in Compton, California, where five friends come together to form N.W.A., a group that gives voice to harsh realities ignored by mainstream America. Guided by manager Jerry Heller, their unapologetic music quickly gains popularity while attracting controversy and law-enforcement backlash. As success grows, internal conflicts arise over money, contracts, and creative control. Ice Cube leaves the group, Dr. Dre seeks artistic freedom, and tensions intensify as fame takes its toll. The story also highlights personal struggles, including Eazy-E’s health and loyalty issues. Straight Outta Compton ultimately portrays how N.W.A.’s legacy changed hip-hop forever and influenced generations beyond music.
