Based on a True Story Volume 1

by Dan LeFebvre

Have you ever seen "Based on a True Story" before a movie? It's a common saying, and perhaps a bit overused these days. Sometimes the movies that claim to be based on a true story are almost purely fictional. Other times, they're fairly accurate to what actually happened. This is the first collection in an ongoing series of short stories. With each story, we'll compare Hollywood's version of the story with the true story of what actually happened in history.

The movies covered in this first volume are:
01: The Revenant
02: 42
03: The Imitation Game
04: Frost/Nixon
05: 300
06: Free State of Jones
07: The Hunt for Red October
08: Catch Me If You Can
09: Zodiac
10: Pain & Gain
11: Ali
12: Anthropoid
13: The Social Network
14: The Danish Girl
15: Apollo 13
