The train rumbled on a 66-mile journey with no one at the controls, due to the air brake not being applied correctly. For two hours, the train sailed along at speeds up to 47 miles per hour.

The Rite is based on the book The Making of a Modern Exorcist by Rome-based Matt Baglio, which was released in 2009 over Doubleday. To research the book, Baglio participated in a seminar on exorcism by the Vatican. Neither is based on any true event.
Yes, but the event was not as dramatic as the movie.
The character, Rose, in the movie Titanic, is a fictional character.

It is a real movie, however, it was not based on actual events.
Are there actual "hitmen" in the world who kill for money? Highly likely, yes. Is the movie "Hitman" based on any true story or event? No. Hitman is based on a series of video games, which are in and of themselves completely fictional.

the movie Unstoppable is "inspired" by true events! I'm guessing that some events in the movie ARE fake. It really happened on may 15 2001. The train was traveling for 66 miles before it was stopped!
