Mrs. 6 Absurd Movie Plots You Won't Believe Are Based on Reality. We spend so much time here debunking silly things we see in fiction that it's easy to forget how truly ridiculous real life is in comparison.
Even the silliest, most implausible characters or plots from action movies have come true. Not often, mind you, but they do happen. We're talking about things like ... #6.
