Grand Theft Auto San Andreas as real Hollywood action movie with famous actors directed by Ice Cube starring with Will Smith
The GTA: San Andreas (2024) movie, starring Will Smith, brings the iconic video game to life with an explosive blend of action, crime drama, and street culture. Set in the early 1990s, the movie follows Carl “CJ” Johnson (played by Will Smith), a former gangster who returns to his home in Los Santos after the mysterious death of his mother. The first trailer sets the tone for a gritty, fast-paced narrative full of betrayal, loyalty, and intense action sequences, staying true to the game’s themes while adding a cinematic twist.
The trailer opens with aerial shots of Los Santos, a sprawling urban landscape filled with gang warfare, corruption, and a crumbling society. As CJ returns home, he is immediately pulled back into the dangerous world he thought he had left behind. Will Smith’s portrayal of CJ brings a mix of charisma and emotional depth as he reconnects with his brother Sweet (played by Michael B. Jordan), who pressures CJ to help rebuild their family’s former gang, the Grove Street Families. Their rivalry with the Ballas gang sets the stage for the action-packed conflict.
The trailer shows CJ navigating between corrupt cops, dangerous gangsters, and high-stakes street races, all while trying to find out who killed his mother and reclaim his family’s neighborhood. We get glimpses of the film’s villains, including corrupt officers Tenpenny (played by Samuel L. Jackson) and Pulaski (Woody Harrelson), who are manipulating the city’s crime underworld to their benefit.
Several high-octane action sequences are teased, including CJ on a motorcycle chase down the highway, shootouts in the streets, and a dramatic helicopter explosion over the iconic Vinewood sign. The film promises to capture the chaotic and vibrant energy of the original San Andreas game, blending crime drama with the social and political issues of the era.
The trailer ends with a tense confrontation between CJ and Tenpenny, as CJ declares, “You can’t control this city forever,” leaving viewers eager to see the full-scale war between CJ and the corrupt system that betrayed him.
