John Singleton directed the movie Boyz n the Hood at the age of 22, from a script that he wrote. Friendly Fire: Making an Urban Legend documents how the film came to be. Through interviews with the director, cinematographer, casting director, a studio executive, and actors, the documentary explores the filmmaking process as well as the climate of tension and fear that existed in South Central at the time of the film's production.
