Legends: Pablo Escobar - The Cocaine King

 

Pablo Escobar, a small city thief born into the cocoa rich hills of Colombia, created the first international delivery system for cocaine. In the process, he "hooked" the world.

The men who brought Escobar to justice tell us a chilling, first hand account of how Pablo set u a network of manufacturing and distribution from Colombia to Miami, New York and throughout Europe. Despite the "war" on drugs, Escobar remained at large the worlds most wanted man. To remain free, he killed thousands of his enemies, scores of judges, reporters and cops.

Unfazed by a worldwide manhunt, Escobar and his gang of killers produced a home movie showing them enjoying the high life. This documentary reveals excerpts from Escobar's movie, a never before seen candid film of Escobar and his "hit men" laughing and playing, even as the police tightened their noose.

The men who chased Pablo Escobar give us a rare glimpse into his life and times. Was he a modern day Robin Hood using drug profits to feed the poor? Or a vicious, modern day Al Capone posing as a man of the people even as he ruthlessly exploited them?
