Movie Story


No matter where we live, no matter who we are, we're all bound by borders... some real, some imagined. Many of us content to live within these borders. Others are forced to. But some of us need to break out, burst through, even if what lies on the other side is both frightening and unknown. 8 Mile is a story about these boudaries that define our lives, and a young man's struggle to find the strength and courage to transcend them.

“..It captures the excitement of a breaking star, it generates a raw and unsettling emotional power and it honors the aesthetic of hip-hop..”
by William Arnold [Seattle Post-Intelligencer]
“..8 Mile shows how music is often the only escape poor people have, since it's the only one they can afford..”
by Tor Thorsen [Reel]
“..Even though Eminem's performance runs the gamut from sullen to impassive stupor, he is fated to have a big hit with his first starring vehicle..”
by Ed Blank [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review]
