The 1992 movie

The 1992 movie, directed by Ariel Vromen, stars Tyrese Gibson, Scott Eastwood, Christopher A’mmanuel, and Ray Liotta, among others. The crime thriller follows the story of Mercer (Tyrese Gibson), who works on rebuilding his life and his relationship with his son Antoine (Christopher A’mmanuel) amidst the 1992 crisis in LA in the wake of the Rodney King Verdict.

On the other side of the story is another father, Lowell (Ray Liotta), who plans a heist with his son Riggin Bigby (Scott Eastwood) from the factory where Mercer works. As the story unfolds, the two families cross paths as the tensions in Los Angeles escalate.

Snoop Dogg, an executive producer of the 1992 movie, explained in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter in July 2024 how the movie is important to him. Snoop, whose career took off in 1992 after he started working with Dr. Dre and signing with Death Row Records, said:

“1992 was a life-changing time for me, from Deep Cover to The Chronic. But as things in my life were coming together, everything in L.A. was coming apart.”

He explained further:

“1992 is a heist movie that really captures all of that. This movie is about an L.A. moment... I had to be a part of this. And it’s only fitting that the film come out under Death Row Pictures as Death Row is synonymous with L.A. culture in the ’90s, ya dig?”

Put That in Motion and other 1992 movie original soundtracks are available to stream on Apple Music, Amazon, and other streaming platforms.
