The Crow is a 1994 American fantasy neo-noir action film directed by Alex Proyas, written by David J. Schow and John Shirley. The film stars Brandon Lee in his final film appearance before his death on March 31, 1993. The film is based on James O'Barr's 1989 comic book of the same name. The film tells the story of Eric Draven, a rock musician who is revived from the dead to avenge his death and the rape and murder of his fiancée.

The lead actor, Brandon Lee, was accidentally killed on the set during filming by a defective blank, only 8 days before the film would have completed production.[3] Unfinished scenes that were to feature him were dealt with by script rewrites, a stunt double and digital special effects. The film is dedicated to Lee and his fiancée, Eliza.

Despite the several production setbacks due to Lee's death, The Crow was well-received critically for its unique visual style, premise, emotional depth and its tribute to the deceased actor. The film opened at the top of the box office and attained a strong cult following.
