Movies Based On True Stories

JFK (Starring Kevin Costner)
Details the actions of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, who takes it upon himself to investigate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, in 1963. Garrison is extremely suspicious of the official story presented by the FBI, and what he already knows and what he subsequently learns lead him to suspect that there is more to the story than the public is being told.

All the Presidents Men
“The Washington Post” reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncover the details of the Watergate scandal that leads to President Richard Nixon’s resignation.
Note: this movie was released before Mark Felt had identified himself as Deep Throat.

Mark Felt – The Man Who Brought Down The White House
The story of Mark Felt, who under the name “Deep Throat” helped journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncover the Watergate scandal in 1972.

Official Secrets
The true story of a British whistleblower who leaked information to the press about an illegal NSA spy operation designed to push the UN Security Council into sanctioning the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The Green Zone
Discovering covert and faulty intelligence causes a U.S. Army officer to go rogue as he hunts for Weapons of Mass Destruction in an unstable region.
The storyline was conceived from a screenplay written by Brian Helgeland, based on a 2006 non-fiction book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by journalist Rajiv Chandrasekaran. The book documented life within the Green Zone in Baghdad during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Shock and Awe
As the United States military prepare to invade Iraq in 2003, sceptical journalists question the Bush administration’s claim that Saddam Hussein is in possession of weapons of mass destruction.
(Shock and awe (technically known as rapid dominance) is a military strategy based on the use of overwhelming power and spectacular displays of force to paralyze the enemy’s perception of the battlefield and destroy their will to fight.)

13 HOURS
On Sept. 11, 2012, Islamic militants attack the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith, an officer for the Foreign Service. Stationed less than one mile away are members (James Badge Dale, John Krasinski, Max Martini) of the Annex Security Team, former soldiers assigned to protect operatives and diplomats in the city. As the assault rages on, the six men engage the combatants in a fierce firefight to save the lives of the remaining Americans.
THE BOOK GIVES EVEN GREATER DETAIL!

Declassified files related to President Kennedy’s assassination in a far larger context, aiming to shine more light on what really happened in 1963.

Dark Legacy
Relying on gov’t docs, statements from the best witnesses available, and the words from the mouths of the killers themselves, Dark Legacy produces a thoroughly substantiated criminal indictment, establishing beyond a reasonable doubt Bush’s guilt as a supervisor in the conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy.

Dark Legacy II
This follow-up to 2009’s ‘Dark Legacy’ asserts that the Bush family engineered the deaths of not only John F. Kennedy, but also his son John Jr. who died in a 1999 plane crash.
This is a little slow and monotone, but worth the time!

operation to bring down the President of the United States. Nunes understood that the target of the
operation wasn’t just Trump, but rather the institutions that sustain our republic.
