Boyz n the Hood is a 1991 American coming-of-age hood crime drama film, written and directed by John Singleton in his feature directorial debut. It stars Cuba Gooding Jr. and Laurence Fishburne, with Nia Long, Tyra Ferrell and Angela Bassett in supporting roles, and also marks the film debuts of Ice Cube, Morris Chestnut, and Regina King. Named after the 1987 Eazy-E song "The Boyz-n-the Hood", written by Ice Cube, the film follows Tre Styles (Gooding), who is sent to live with his father Furious Styles (Fishburne) in South Central Los Angeles, where he reunites with his childhood friends while being surrounded by the neighborhood's booming gang culture. 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 in 1990.
