8 Mile (2002) watch online

8 Mile is a 2002 American drama film produced and directed by Curtis Hanson from a script written by Scott Silver. It stars Eminem in his feature film debut, alongside Kim Basinger, Brittany Murphy, and Mekhi Phifer. Containing autobiographical elements from Eminem's life, the film follows Detroit rapper Jimmy Smith Jr., also known as B-Rabbit, as he attempts to launch a career in hip-hop, a music genre dominated by African Americans. The title is derived from 8 Mile Road, the road between the predominantly black city of Detroit and the largely white suburban communities to the north that Eminem originally lived in.

8 Mile was released by Universal Pictures on November 8, 2002, in the United States. The film received positive reviews and was a commercial success, grossing $242.9 million worldwide. The film's accompanying soundtrack (released by Universal's then subsidiary Universal Music, through Interscope and Shady/Aftermath) was also a commercial success, being certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The film garnered numerous award nominations and wins, including an Academy Award for Best Original Song win for "Lose Yourself" for Eminem, Jeff Bass and Luis Resto at the 75th Academy Awards. 8 Mile was named one of the best films of 2002 by several publications.
