South Central is a 1992 American crime-drama film, written and directed by Stephen Milburn Anderson. This film is an adaptation of the 1987 fiction novel, The Original South Central L.A. Crips by Donald Bakeer,[1] a former high school teacher in South Central Los Angeles. The film stars Glenn Plummer, Byron Minns and Christian Coleman.

The movie received wide critical acclaim, with many praising Plummer’s performance,[2] and New Yorker Magazine praising it as one of the year's best independent films.[citation needed] Janet Maslin of The New York Times named Anderson in the "Who's Who Among Hot New Filmmakers" in 1992, along with Quentin Tarantino and Tim Robbins.[3]
