"The Insider"  (1999) with Russell  Crowe

The doctor  who  broke  with  the tobacco company  tradition of Silence on the relationship between Cancer and Tobacco. He decided to appear in a "60 Minutes" expose on Big Tobacco.

He will, I think, go down in history as one of the great heroes of America.

 I  saw also with interest, that some have already mentioned another Russell Crowe movie based upon

fact;  "A Beautiful Mind"  in which  the story of the mathematician John Forbes Nash, Jr. is told.

The mathematician suffered from a mental illness.

great, thank you for comments. My last one was "Captain Phillips'. I recomend it. But the best for me is "Catch me if you can" !

"Enemy at the Gates " is a very impressive film which describes a snipper and his colleagues how to fight for their motherland and struggle for their fortune.

Shame on me! Didn't know, that A Beautiful mind was based on a true story, though I loved it.

A Beutiful mind / Russlle Crowe - I wouldn't say the best but I can say one of my favourite ones which is based on a true story
