"Blow" is a movie about George Jung, an American who helped Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel flood the United States with cocaine. During his heyday, George and Carlos Lehder (Diego Delgado in the
movie) smuggled about 85% of the illegal drug into the country. It wasn't long before Carlos (whom George met in Danbury prison) betrayed George. Such is the way of life in the drug-smuggling world.
In the mid 1970s, most people didn't know about cocaine. Called "blow" in street slang, cocaine became America's illicit drug of choice almost overnight. George Jung, an average guy from small-town Weymouth, Massachusetts, rode the wave of greed, ego and deceit as he made
(and lost) $100 million. Along the way, hooked on cocaine himself, he destroyed what mattered most. Fred and Ermine, his parents, didn't want to see him again. Mirtha, his wife, left him with Kristina, the daughter he loved more than anything in the world. Today George is in prison.
