Havoc is a 2005 crime drama film directed by Barbara Kopple and written by Stephen Gaghan and Jessica Kaplan. It stars Anne Hathaway, Bijou Phillips,[3] and Mike Vogel, with Shiri Appleby, Freddy Rodriguez, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Channing Tatum, Michael Biehn, and Laura San Giacomo appearing in supporting roles. The film follows the lives of wealthy Los Angeles teenagers whose exposure to hip hop culture inspires them to imitate the gangster lifestyle and engage in slum tourism. They run into trouble when they encounter a gang of drug dealers, discovering they are not as street-wise as they had thought.

An international co-production between the United States and Germany,[4][5] the film was shown at several film festivals and was then released directly on DVD in the United States on November 29, 2005.
