Bomb City is a 2017 American crime film directed by Jameson Brooks, co-written by Jameson Brooks and Sheldon R. Chick, and starring Dave Davis. The title of the film is a reference to one of the nicknames of the town of Amarillo for their nuclear weapon facilities.

On December 12, 1997, 19-year-old American punk musician Brian Theodore Deneke was killed in a deliberate hit and run attack in Amarillo, Texas, by 17-year-old Dustin Camp. Camp was later found guilty of voluntary vehicular manslaughter and sentenced to ten years' probation and a $10,000 fine, which was later dropped. In 2001, he was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment for a variety of parole violations. He was paroled under supervision on July 31, 2006. The homicide and the outcome of the trial against Camp galvanized the punk community and raised accusations about the social tolerance of the Texan city.

This film is a dramatization of the events of that night and some of what led up to it, as well as the aftermath of the death.
