Based on a true story, True Story follows the intriguing and dangerous relationship between disgraced New York Times reporter Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill) and accused killer Christian Longo (James Franco), who has taken on Finkel's identity. When Finkel, struggling to find work after being fired from his prestigious job, learns that Longo has been using his name, he becomes intrigued and begins meeting with him.
