You know how movies love to use the “based on a true story” tagline? It’s so common, especially more and more these days. It’s almost a marketing strategy; make the audience believe that what they’re watching is real so that they’ll be more attached and more invested. After all, that’s the point, right?

In this video, we’ll explore exactly what “based on a true story” mean. We’ll take a magnifying glass to that statement and examine just how far the bounds of reality are allowed to be stretched. We’ll take a look at some interesting examples and dabble in the legal side of things. What are movies allowed to do and what aren’t they?
