Starring Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, Nia Long, Bernie Mac, Tommy Lister, Jr. and John Witherspoon, the film revolves around 16 hours in the lives of unemployed slackers Craig Jones (Ice Cube) and Smokey (Chris Tucker), who must pay a drug dealer $200 by 10:00 PM on Friday night. The film spawned two sequels: Next Friday, and Friday After Next.
