Homegrown is a 1998 American comedy-drama thriller film. It was directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal and starred Billy Bob Thornton, John Lithgow, and Hank Azaria.

Plot

When their kingpin is murdered, bungling small-fry marijuana harvesters in Northern California try to keep the business running, negotiating the biggest sale ever and keeping his death a secret. But when silent partners, the Mafia, the police, and other meddlers crash the party, they begin to realize they are in over their heads.

Cast

Release

The film was written years earlier, but its subject matter frightened film companies. It wasn't until the legalization of medical marijuana in California that the film was given a green light. The film still had a limited theatrical run.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was released on June 11, 2002 on Will Records.
