Friday is a 1995 American stoner comedy film directed by F. Gary Gray (in his directorial debut) and written by Ice Cube and DJ Pooh. It follows a typical day in the life of Craig Jones, a somewhat normal guy with some crazy friends. Like Smokey, who has 24 hours to pay back Big Worm, South Central's nastiest thug, or else.

The film is the first installment in the Friday franchise and co-stars Nia Long, Tiny "Zeus" Lister Jr., Regina King, Anna Maria Horsford, Bernie Mac, and John Witherspoon.
