July 1, 1981. A brutal attack at 8763 Wonderland Avenue in Los Angeles leads to the bodies of 4 people, and one clinging to life. At the center of the investigation is a coked out porn star.
In 2003, director James Cox recounts these events with Val Kilmer taking on the role of porn legend John Holmes. We are about to go down the rabbit hole known as the Wonderland murders.
Be careful where you swing that thing, because Wonderland was indeed inspired by a true story.
Welcome to Inspired By A True Story, a podcast where every two weeks, our award-winning hosts and film critics discuss the genuine details that have inspired some of the most memorable true crime movies around. Each episode will break down the crime or crimes that inspired a specific film, and then discuss how factual that film is, versus how much is simply Hollywood magic.
Wonderland: During a police investigation of a horrifically brutal crime scene deep in the heart of Los Angeles, one man appears to be at the center of it all: legendary porn star John Holmes.
