Deep Cover is a 1992 American action thriller film starring Laurence Fishburne, Jeff Goldblum and Charles Martin Smith, and directed by veteran actor Bill Duke in his second directorial outing. The screenplay was written by Henry Bean and Academy Award-nominee Michael Tolkin.
Fishburne plays a police officer who goes undercover in a sting operation in Los Angeles to bring down a West Coast drug cartel. The film received positive reviews, being likened by some critics to a modern film noir. It is also notable for its theme song of the same name, composed by Dr. Dre and the then-newcomer Snoop Dogg.
