Coke in the Movies

From Star to Bit Player, Coca-Cola® Sparkles on Film
Want a Coke® at the movies? You can try the lobby -- or check out the screen.

Filmmakers around the world use Coca-Cola or our other products to help tell their stories, and they have for decades. Often it's a quick cameo appearance that lends casual authenticity. Sometimes Coca-Cola takes the spotlight. Here are some highlights of the "reel thing":

MARQUEE MOMENTS:
The Gods Must Be Crazy
This South African comedy takes a wry view of modern life circa 1980. A Coke bottle tossed from a plane lands in the remote village of peaceful Bushmen. Thought to be a divine gift, the bottle assumes growing importance in the tribe, which eventually leads to strife. When the wise tribal leader tries to return it to the gods, he meets the "civilized" world.

The film was a hit in Europe and Japan before winning U.S. audiences in 1984.

One, Two, Three
Set in 1961 as the Cold War heats up, this features a Coca-Cola bottler in West Berlin. Life turns upside down when the visiting daughter of a Coca-Cola executive meets and marries an East Berlin communist student.

The film was named one of the ten best releases of the year by The New York Times.

SUPPORTING ROLES:
On the Beach -- A submarine officer investigates strange Morse code signals. In a deserted restaurant, he finds a Coke bottle resting on the transmitter, entangled in the cord of a window shade. As the shade flaps, the bottle taps.

It's a Wonderful Life -- Young George Bailey works in a pharmacy with a Coca-Cola soda fountain. In fact, he's surrounded by Coke items, from stained glass lamp shades to a thermometer to a "Betty" tray.

Dr. Strangelove -- A Coke vending machine briefly takes center stage when the protagonist needs to make a phone call to the President. He instructs his sidekick to shoot the machine for its change-and the sidekick replies he will have to answer to The Coca-Cola Company.

The Paper -- Tabloid editor Henry Hackett consumes a lot of Coca-Cola as he works to get to the bottom of a big story. He and his co-workers share screen time with a Coke vending machine in the office.

Silent Movie -- When gangsters threaten, the protagonist has the perfect sidekick-a Coke machine that shoots exploding cans.

E.T. -- Explaining life on Earth to his alien friend, young Elliott shows E.T. a refrigerator with Coke.
