Here is the original draft of the script I had written based on watching 7 minutes of the documentary.
COCAINE COWBOYS
1st SCENE
Adapted by
MICHAEL HINES
|
An establishing shot of the city of Miami. We see the many rows of tall buildings surrounded by sandy beaches against the blue sky.
CUT TO.
EXT. MOTORWAY DAY
A huge white van comes into view. The camera follows it as it speeds up the road, past palm trees and towards the city.
DISSOLVE TO.
EXT. CAR PARK – DAY
An establishing shot of a large car park next to a big building. Many cars in different sizes and colours are all lined up in rows. Camera then focuses on building.
CUT TO.
LONG SHOT – CAR PARK
The people are going about their daily lives; some drive in their cars, some leave their cars and others are walking in all directions. We now focus on a store behind a line of cars.
CUT IN SHOT – LIQUOUR STORE
We see the title of the store as it reads in big lettering “CROWNS LIQUORS”
TRACKING SHOT – WHITE VAN
The van we saw earlier now enters the car park. It turns and cuts corners through the park, driving slowly and silently. It parks in a space as its rear end stops right in front of the camera.
We see that on the side, there is some text reading, “HAPPY TIME. COMPLETE SUPPLY PARTY. 6648275.”
CUT TO. LOW ANGLE SHOT – VAN DOOR
The door of the van opens slowly. A foot then pops out from behind the door and steps onto the black, dusty asphalt.
LOW ANGLE – VAN
More feet come out several men exit the vehicle. We only see them from the torso down.
They move over to the back and open the rear door of the van.

One of the men reaches a hand into the back of the van and quietly pulls out a hand gun. He cocks it and hides it away.
CUT TO.
EXT. OUTSIDE STORE – DAY
More people walk past the liquor store, minding their own business.
TRACKING SHOT – ARMED MEN
The men from the van calmly make their way over to the liquor store, hiding their weapons from view.
One of them stretches out a hand and pushes open the door.
INT. CROWNS LIQUOURS STORE – DAY
The men quietly enter the store; the door makes a slight creaking sound as it is swung forward. They go up to the counter where a man is waiting.
CUT TO.
EXT. OUTSIDE STORE WINDOW
We see flashes of light and loud gun shots, followed by high pitched screaming. Even people outside the store run away in terror.
The men quickly exit the store and they begin to open fire on the surroundings. More screams are heard in the background before they are drowned out by the gunfire.
CUT TO – LONG SHOT
People run all over the car park, waving their arms around and screaming in fear.
CLOSE UP – ARMED MAN#3
The camera is slightly tilted as it focuses on the man’s deranged face. His eyes are covered by huge black sunglasses. He continues to fire his sub-machine gun, light flashes in his face.
CLOSE UP – BEHIND CAR
An innocent bystander tries to hide behind a car; bullet holes are made in the car anyway and he is badly wounded.
CUT TO.
LOW ANGLE - CLOSE UP
|
CUT TO.
MEDIUM CLOSE UP – MAN NEAR STORE WINDOW
A man standing in front of a store window is shot repeatedly by gunfire. As he is blown away by force, he crashes through the window, glass shattering and flying everywhere.
CUT TO.
INT. LIQUOR STORE – DAY
Another shot of the man flying through the store window. His now lifeless body lands on the floor, surrounded by shattered glass.
CUT TO.
HIGH ANGLE. CAR PARK – DAY
The camera slowly pulls away as the men frantically continue to fire their weapons in all directions, shooting at people and cars. Glass windows shatter, bullets ricochet everywhere and the people scream and run.
CUT TO BLACK.
