1992 Plot
Set against the backdrop of the 1992 L.A. uprising, Mercer is trying to rebuild his life and mend his relationship with his son. Simultaneously, another father and son are testing their strained relationship with a risky heist to steal catalytic converters, which contain valuable platinum from Mercer’s workplace. As tension escalates and chaos engulfs Los Angeles, both families reach a breaking point when their paths cross.
Reflecting on the movie, Dogg 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. 1992 is a heist movie that really captures all of that. This movie is about an L.A. moment. Ariel made an outstanding film that depicts this moment in time. From my first encounter with Tyrese in Baby Boy to the performance in 1992, 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 LA culture in the ’90s, ya dig?”
