“Boyz N The Hood” is a coming-of-age hood crime drama film written and directed by John Singleton in his feature directorial debut. It was first screened in the “Un Certain Regard” section at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, then premiered exclusively in Los Angeles for 10 days in July of the same year and was finally theatrically released across the United States on July 12, 1991 by Columbia Pictures. The film stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Ice Cube, Nia Long, Morris Chestnut, Tyra Ferrell, Laurence Fishburne, Regina King, Angela Bassett and more. John Singleton initially developed the film as a requirement for his application to film school in 1986 and sold the script to Columbia Pictures upon graduation from USC in 1990. “Boyz n the Hood” drew inspiration from his own life and the lives of people he knew growing up in South Central Los Angeles; with the film’s title being a reference to the Eazy-E song of the same name, written by Ice Cube. The film became a critical and commercial success, grossing $57.5 million, in North America, approximately 129 million in 2024 with inflation. It won Outstanding Motion Picture at the 25th NAACP Image Awards and earned nominations for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay at the 64th Academy Awards. John Singleton became the youngest person overall, at 24, and the first African American to be nominated for Best Director. In 2002, the United States Library of Congress selected “Boyz N The Hood” for preservation in the National Film Registry.
