How True Is Your Favorite “True” Story? Find Out!

“Based on a True True Story” at informationisbeautiful.net is a brilliant example of how design can turn data into something genuinely engaging. Instead of just listing facts and figures, this interactive visualization breaks down movies scene by scene to show what’s true, what’s false, and what’s somewhere in between. Using color-coded timelines and clear visuals, it transforms dry fact-checking into an experience, making it easy (and fun!) to see how Hollywood bends the truth. It’s a great reminder that design can make complex information not only accessible, but actually enjoyable.
