Trespass is a 1992 American crime thriller film directed by Walter Hill, written by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, and starring Bill Paxton, Ice T, William Sadler, and Ice Cube. In the film, two firemen decide to search an abandoned building for a hidden treasure, but wind up being targeted by a street gang.

The screenplay, originally titled The Looters, was written in 1977. Filming took place in Atlanta, Georgia and Memphis, Tennessee. Following the 1992 Los Angeles riots, the film was retitled and its original release date of July 3, 1992 was pushed back. It was released on December 25, 1992, by Universal Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing $13.7 million against a budget of $14 million.
