Blow is a 2001 drama film about the American cocaine smuggler George Jung, directed by Ted Demme (who later died of a cocaine-related heart attackcitation needed]).

It is based on the real-life story of George Jung, Pablo Escobar, Carlos Lehder and the MedellĂ­n Cartel. The film's title comes from a slang term for cocaine.
