Over the last several years, many real-life court cases have been brought to the big screen. However, few have held the significance that is seen in the wrongful death case of Kevin Thatcher. Arrested for what was originally considered a routine DUI infraction in Marshalltown, Iowa, Thatcher was later found dead in an alley outside of the police station. The arresting officer's story is highly suspicious, and everyone involved seemed to be covering up the true occurrences of that night.

The line "based on true events" has become a common phrase around Hollywood. From the likes of 21 and The Pursuit of Happiness, it seems that every director is just waiting to get their hands on a real story. However, like some things in Hollywood, many of these 'real' claims are a bogus lie. In fact, most of them are. From Rudy to Lean on Me, feature films have been falsely attaching the phrase in hopes that it will inspire a growth in box office receipts.
