The movie is based on Hans Reiser (true story) and Hans is an American computer programmer, entrepreneur, and convicted murderer. In April 2008, Hans Reiser was convicted of the first-degree murder of his wife, Nina Reiser, who disappeared in September 2006. He subsequently pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree murder, as part of a settlement agreement that included disclosing the location of his wife's body, which he revealed to be in a shallow grave near the couple's home.
