8 Mile is a 2002 American hip-hop drama film written by Scott Silver.

The film is an account of a young white rapper named Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith Jr.
(Eminem) living in inner city Detroit, Michigan set in 1995, and his attempt to launch a
rap career in an industry dominated by blacks. Contrary to popular belief, the film does
 not detail Eminem's life growing up in Detroit, but instead the average life of a rapper
 in Detroit, as stated by Eminem in interviews about the film. Despite this, the film
 is considered to be semi-autobiographical.

The film was a critical and financial success. Eminem won the Academy Award
for Best Original Song for "Lose Yourself".
