True Story Movies That Lied to You

Adding the "true story" tagline is a common advertising tool for enticing unsuspecting moviegoers into buying box office tickets. As we all know, Hollywood has a habit of sensationalizing things and twisting the truth; sometimes, history can be a little too dull, and creative teams alter what really happened in order to keep audiences captivated. It's time to look past the silver screen and see why being "based on a true story" isn't always all it's cracked up to be.
