This probably barely qualifies, but “30 Minutes Or Less” was very clearly inspired by the true case of a pizza delivery driver forced to rob a bank with a bomb strapped to his neck but fudges the story quite a bit to make it into a comedy. Spoiler alert: the situation ended much worse for the real guy than it did for Jesse Eisenberg.
