The phrase 'ripped from the headlines' gets a bad rap. At its essence, it just means that a movie or television show has been inspired by real-life events, often a crime.
Some of the most popular movies and TV series from the past half-century have been created this way, taking their inspiration from everything from the mob to drug dealers to underage crime sprees. Here are just a handful of the stories born from real events.
