Spring Breakers is a 2012 American black comedy crime film written and directed by Harmony Korine. It stars Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, and James Franco and follows four college-aged girls on their spring break in Florida where they meet an eccentric local drug dealer who helps them in a time of desperation, and their eventual descent into a world of drugs, crime, and violence.

Korine had devised the concept for Spring Breakers over several years prior to production, with fleeting ideas about the plot and what should transpire. His initial desire was to create a "sensory film" that was more about feeling than action and placed little importance on narrative or plot, the idea for which came later. Once Korine developed the backbone of the story, which takes place around the American spring break period, he travelled to Florida to write the screenplay. Production began in 2012, on an estimated budget of $5 million–a relatively small amount in today's film industry, albeit Korine's second most expensive film to date. The film is also one of Korine's first theatrical works to receive a wide release.

Released in March 2013, Spring Breakers grossed $31 million worldwide, making it a resounding success considering the minuscule budget. It received generally positive reviews from film critics, with some calling it a potential cult classic. The film was selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 69th Venice International Film Festival. Critics and scholars have read deeper meaning in the film's plot, commenting on its reflection of modern day superficiality and the younger generation's obsession with highly stylised pop culture media.

Synopsis

College students Brit (Ashley Benson), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) spend their time partying while their friend Faith (Selena Gomez) attends a religious youth group. As their classmates head to spring break, they are stuck behind due to a lack of money. Desperate to make the trip, Brit and Candy, after getting high on cocaine, don ski masks and use hammers and realistic-looking squirt guns to rob a local restaurant. Cotty drives and later burns a getaway car stolen from one of their professors.
