Was the movie War Games based on a true story?
No, it was not. As much as you would like to think that the movie was not based on a true story, there is much relevance to events that happened during that time during which a young man had first broken into his schools computer to change his grades. So, it is often said that the geopolitical… climate he created by being the first to do such a thing might have influenced excitement and awe which resulted in the movie being made. Some would say it were a coincidence that such a movie were made portraying such a character, however, it would be speculative to say "no". Based entirely on a true story perhaps "no" yet influenced perhaps yes........ I can speak first hand as I met him personally. Yeah, It was. It was my elementary school guidance teacher's brother.

What true story was 'Macbeth' based on?
William Shakespeare [Baptized April 26, 1564-April 23, 1616] based his play 'Macbeth' upon a true story, right out of Scottish and ultimately English history. That story was the succession of Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] to the throne that previously was held by Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] as …King of Scotland. Although the play was based on real historic personages, it didn't agree much of the time with the existing historical record. For example, the record tended to cast King Duncan in a worse light than Macbeth. For the King was killed by his own men for invading Macbeth's lands. The invasion didn't have the support of the King's own fighting men or of the Scottish nation. Neither did the record tend to portray Macbeth as a tyrannical ruler who came to be despised by all Scotland. ( Full Answer )

Was the Broken Trail movie a true story?
While"Broken Trail" isn't based on a true story per se, it's basedon various and sundry events that took place in the Old West fromroughly 1866-1900. Just like "Lonesome Dove" is loosely based on the real life sagasof famed Texas Cattlemen Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving. Example- When Oliver Lo…ving was ambushed by Comanches in New MexicoTerritory in 1868, he developed gangrene in his leg and died inSanta Fe. His partner Charlie Goodnight had him placed in a lead lined coffinand then carried his body from Santa Fe to Weatherford, Texas(Outside Fort Worth) to be buried in the family plot. And quite a number of Chinese Women were brought to America on thepretense of "Domestic Workers" but were actually sold intoprostitution instead. Also, from the end of the US Civil War until the beginning of WWII,quite a number of wild mustangs were rounded up from South Texas toWestern Oregon to be sold to both the US and various ForeignMilitaries including Great Britian. So in closing, while "Broken Trail" isn't based on a real story,there are a number of real life events that inspired it.(The personthat wrote this mixed it up with Lonesome Dove, Good Ole Boys, andBroken Trail. Broken Trail is basically based on a true story andhas an epilogue in the end of the story to tell what happened tothe people it was about). ( Full Answer )

Is REC based on a true story?
No, it's not based on a true story. It was inspired by a true story, which is different. "Inspired by a true story" is a meaningless phrase that was invented by Hollywood for the sole purpose of selling more movie tickets. The people who frequent the movies categories are probably sick to death of …hearing me say this, but...ALL stories are inspired by a true story. All writers get their ideas from things they see, hear, read about and experience in the real world. When a book/movie is "based on a true story," it means that the moviemakers are trying to stick to the truth and show you what really happened. No such attempt is made in a movie that is "inspired by a true story." "Inspired by a true story" just means that the writers got the idea for a fictional story from something in real life, but aren't trying to portray the real life story accurately. Almost every work of fiction ever made could be called "inspired by a true story." For example, Jane Austen based many of her characters on herself or people she knew. So, all of Jane Austen's books could accurately be called "inspired by a true story." Wes Craven got the idea for the Freddy Krueger character from a creepy homeless man who frightened him when he was a child. The man wore a hat and sweater similar to Freddy's. So, A Nightmare on Elm Street could accurately be called inspired by a true story, even though none of the events that happen in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies ever happened in real life. Thomas Harris got the idea for the Hannibal character from the real life serial killer Albert Fish. He also got the idea for the Buffalo Bill character from the real life serial killer Ed Gein. So all of the Hannibal Lecter novels could accurately be called inspired by a true story...even though none of the events that happen in the novels ever happened in real life. The Leatherface character from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was also inspired by the serial killer Ed Gein. But again, NONE of the events shown in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre EVER happened in real life. Do you see what I'm saying? It's patently absurd to label something "inspired by a true story," when EVERY story is inspired by a true story. It's absurd, and it's deliberately misleading. When people hear "inspired by a true story," they assume that at least some of the events depicted in the story are true to life, when this is actually not the case. Anyway, to answer your question: the movie REC (2007) was inspired by a real case of a rabies outbreak. That's "inspired by" NOT "based on." ( Full Answer )

Is 8MM based on a true story?
This is a bit of a tricky question. The movie 8MM is not based on any one true story, no. It is collectively based on all the rumors and legends surrounding snuff films. Whether or not snuff films exist is a bit more complicated. .
To date, authorities all over the world have yet to find even one… real snuff film. There are a lot of movies out there that claim to be snuff films, but when they are investigated by police, they always turn out to be fakes. Very good, very convincing fakes, but fakes, nonetheless. And of course, murderers sometimes videotape their crimes, but these videotapes are technically not snuff films, since they were created for the killer's own amusement, not for sale to the highest bidder. .
All the reliable evidence suggests that snuff films are just an urban legend. Still, the rumors never subside. Is it possible that snuff films have occasionally been made, but just haven't been discovered yet? Maybe. It's a very big world out there, and the police can't search all of it. But it's safe to say there is no roaring underground trade in such movies. If there was any significant, large-scale market for these movies, police would surely have found some traces of evidence by now. .
I have included a link to the Wikipedia page regarding snuff films. ( Full Answer )

Is Armageddon based on a true story?
No, the movie Armageddon is not based on a true story. If a comet had really come that close to hitting Earth, but been thwarted by a bunch of astronauts, you wouldn't have to ask this question. You would have heard about it already. It's important to remember that exciting stuff like huge disast…ers, or gruesome murders, or monsters would be front-page news in every newspaper and on every TV channel. When wondering if a movie is based on a true story, you need to first ask yourself, "How likely is it that something like this could have happened, but I missed every single news report about it?" Usually, such a thing is not very likely. If someone found proof that Bigfoot existed, or if the Cloverfield monster was actually found in the ocean, or if a chainsaw-wielding murderer killed dozens of people in Texas, or if an asteroid almost hit the Earth, you would have heard about it LONG before the movie came out.
