True Story

Truth’s the ultimate terror, and sometimes, the ultimate triumph. The True Story tag is home to films and series based on actual events, covering everything from notorious crimes and shocking scandals to survival sagas and untold underdog victories.

Whether it’s dramatized biopics like I, Tonya or The Social Network, searing true-crime adaptations like Monster or Boston Strangler, or quieter character-driven tales like The Eyes of Tammy Faye, every title earns its place with a foundation in real-life grit.

No sugar-coating, no filters, just raw, emotionally charged storytelling drawn from history, headlines, or personal memoir. This tag spans all genres: drama, crime, thriller, war, survival, even comedy. If the events really happened (or almost did), it belongs here.

Also includes:

Based-on-a-true-story films

Inspired-by-true-events fiction

Biographical dramas and series

Films derived from memoirs or historical records
(Not to be confused with pure documentaries, those live in their own category but may carry this tag if applicable.)
