The film "The King Is Alive" involves a group of stranded passengers who choose to keep their spirits up by performing Shakespeare's King Lear. The plot of the movie is not based in any way on King Lear, but it is about people putting on that play. In some screenplays there are parallels between the play and the play within the play (especially if the script is written by Tom Stoppard, like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead or Shakespeare in Love) but this is not one of those scripts. It would be inaccurate to say that it is based on King Lear.
