Information
------------------------------

The True Story: Series 1
The True Story is a fascinating six-part documentary series revealing the real-life events that inspired some of Hollywoods most famous blockbusters. Uncover the actual stories and characters behind classic films including


1) Escape from Alcatraz
Uncover the true story behind the most famous prison break in American history. Alcatraz was the worlds most impregnable prison-until three inmates escaped. Despite a vast manhunt, the men were never seen again. Did the prisoners actually make it off the island, or did the icy waters of the San Francisco Bay act as the fortress last line of inescapable defence?

2) Indiana Jones
Just who was the real Indiana Jones? Indys creators George Lucas and Steven Spielberg say the inspiration for the whip-cracking adventurer came from the explorers featured in 1930s and 40s movie serials. In turn, many writers of these serials say their inspiration came from the real-life adventures of Roy Chapman Andrews. Another source for the Indy legend is the German scholar and Grail-hunter, Otto Rahn. Both embody the spirit of Indiana Jones, and lived real lives of scholarship, exploration and danger.

3) James Bond
Bond...James Bond. Is this man of mystery a personification of a real spy or a fantasy spun by author Ian Fleming? Fleming wanted his suave secret agent to be the ultimate spy - but who provided the inspiration? Discover Flemings wartime service in naval intelligence, and meet two men who could have supplied the basis for Bonds character. Uncover the facts behind the fiction - the people, places and even the gadgets that inspired the iconic spy.

4) The Untouchables
Al Capone was a notorious Mafia boss who thrived during the Prohibition era of 1930s Chicago. In the film The Untouchables, he was brought down by a small group of gritty law enforcers led by Eliot Ness. The public believed that Ness and his Untouchables were responsible for Capones downfall, but thats not the real story. The Internal Revenue Service recently opened secret documents surrounding the case, including highly classified objects such as Capones gun and Nesss diary. See the full story behind the plot to capture Capone.

5) The Bourne Identity
Believe it or not, the covert, violent, and deadly world of Jason Bourne is actually grounded in reality. We take an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the CIA to see how a super assassin like Matt Damons conflicted hero is created. We also probe the intelligence agencys controversial past operations, involving sinister mind-control experiments and often bizarre assassination plots.

6) Casino
Behind Martin Scorseses masterful direction and Robert De Niros larger-than-life performance lies the very real story of the high-stakes battle between the mob and the law for control of Las Vegas. We interview key figures on both sides of this colourful crime story and detail how the FBI was finally able to overcome the Mafias formidable grip on Sin City.
