About 8 Mile

'8 Mile' is an Oscar-winning drama starring and based on the life of Detroit-native and rapper Eminem.

Jimmy (Eminem) is a young blue-collar worker who is fed up with his minimally paying job and nagging, drug-addicted mother and her live-in boyfriend who abuses her. Determined to get his life on track by becoming a professional rapper, Jimmy just can't seem to catch a break. Acting like a victim of circumstance, Jimmy blames everyone and everything around him for his lousy predicament. The moment finally comes when he begins to take action for his own life and forgets about outside circumstances. He begins to question his group of friends and whether or not they hold him and themselves back from their own success. Jimmy, nicknamed Rabbit, finally gets a break when he goes to a rap battle to show the underground hip-hop scene that he is a force to be truly recognized.

The theme song for '8 Mile' is ''Lose Yourself'' by Eminem. It won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Original Song.
