The story of a rock band who smuggle drugs financed by the mafia. 20 kilos of cocaine are being dropped from a plane above a bay. The prey attracts many fortune hunters who want to earn quick money. When part of the vanished drugs is being sold on the market, the events escalate because killers from the drug syndicate are also involved. The second Andy Warhol-produced Ulli Lommel film, starring Jack Palance in one of the leads, and Warhol as Warhol, who – without planning to – solves the case of the lost cocaine with his polaroid camera.
COCAINE COWBOYS was celebrated by the critics: "The New York Times" called it "A highlight in Popism", and "Hollywood Reporter" attributed the film "EASY RIDER of 1979". Sex, drugs and rock and roll!
