The best thing about movies if you ask me, is that they put up real-life heroes and their stories in a frame, that makes it unforgettable for us!

But a story that is adapted from true events has the power to boggle your mind and maybe inspire you to do something like the protagonist. So let me introduce you to some of the movies that are inspired by true events.

It was believed that the codes cannot be decoded by any means possible but the man proved it wrong with his hard work and perseverance and saved millions of lives.
