The Wild True Story Behind The Tom Cruise Crime Comedy

In 2014 director Doug Liman and star Tom Cruise brought us known Cruise’s best sci-fi action movie “Tomorrow’s edge”. Three years later, the filmmaker and the actress will learn again for a completely different project, which, although it may not be remembered as one of the best films on the cruise, is easily one of the funniest of the actor.

“American Made” saw the thrilling pilot of the cruise games, Barry Seal, who was recruited by the CIA in Trans World Lines (TWA), which the CIA recruited in the late ’70s to fly intelligence operations in Central America. Soon, Seal finds that he is working on a Medellin cartel, which asks the pilot to smuggle drugs back to the United States with his return flights, which makes the former commercial pilot very rich. At the same time, he begins to drive weapons to Nicaraguan’s contrast, but Dea has paid attention, and Seal quickly realizes that the FBI, Dea, ATF and Arkansas State police finally arrested him after the CIA gave up him. In order to avoid the prison time, the pilot concludes a contract to become an informant and secretly receives evidence of combining the Medell Cartel to Nicaraguan Sandinistas. When the accusation of his imprisonment is released, he is charged with the State’s Minister of Justice and the cartel. Things end up in a tragic but inevitable way when cartel assassinators shoot Seal after his sentence is 1000 hours of community service.

If it sounds like a crazy story, you may surprise you to learn that it is true. In other words, it is based on the true story of Adler Berrima’s Seal, where author Gary Spinelli took some rather great freedoms in telling the pilot’s life. However, the story of Seal’s real life is just like no more exciting than a movie.

Doug Liman spoke /movie “American Mads,” pointing out that the time when Barry Seal had worked was unprecedented in so many ways. “It’s an exceptional time in US history,” said the director, “and the exceptional time just … this was the moment when pilots can still be cowboys. That era has ended. What freedom that pilots was in the 80s just ended.” “American Made” was one way to honor such a unique time in US history, but it was not completely accurate when Liman himself refers to the film “funny lie based on a true story.” First of all, the real seal had been “cowboy” throughout the 80s before the 80s, which is just one of the many aspects of the real-life story of the film.

In spite of the “real events”, “writer Gary Spinelli gave himself a lot of creative freedom when the manuscript was prepared – though Surgery scene “American Made” movie Bill Clinton got a LAP dancewhose reality really is not about. Adler Berriman Seal was indeed a two pilot. He started working as an air engineer in the 1960s before becoming one of the youngest pilots of all time in the history of the company. By 1975, he smuggled small amounts of marijuana, but graduated with cocaine by 1978, which was more profitable. By that time, however, he had lost his job with TWA to participate in plot to smuggle explosives from the United States and flew his smuggle at domestic Louisa.

In the film, we see that Seal develops ties to the Medellin cartel after flying the CIA, but actually the pilot William Roger Reaves first attached Seal with the cartel. Seal then recruited help in the form of his former brother William Bottoms, which began to fly drugs from the United States in 1981, Seal and his operations began to transport cocaine to the Medellin cartel by earning up to $ 500,000 per flight. Just like in the movie, Seal would be Airdrop drugs for Louisiana, after which her partner rose packages and transported them to Florida, where the cartel connections were waiting. At the top of its operations, Seal was about a dozen aircraft to smuggle drugs to the United States.

At the “American Made” event, Tom Cruise Barry Seal moves to Mena’s small town, Arkansas, which has actually been based on some extent. In 1980, the actual seal moved to parts of his smuggling operation to Rich Mountain Aviation at Mena Intermountain Airport after his activities in Louisiana drew the attention of both the Federal Researchers and the Louisiana State. Between 1981 and 85, Seal is said to use Mena Airport as a center of his drug smuggling business, even though there are contradictory reports on where this airport was used, and some claim that drugs did not really pass through the airport. The joint investigation of the FBI, the Arkansas State Police and the IRS seemingly confirmed that Seal had actually used Mena Airport for “smuggling” between 1980 and 1984.

In March 1983, DEA accused several quantities, including conspiracy for spreading metaqualone and distributing possession to spread Qualudes. Seal then cut the agreement with the government in 1984 and began working as the DEA’s informant. The agency wanted to reveal the Nicaraguan Sandin as a major cocaine supplier from Colombia. In the film, we see Seal, which Domhnall Gleeson’s CIA agent Monty Schafer recruits in the late ’70s to fly CIA broadcasts. In reality, Seal is said to have flown Recon aircraft from the Mena airport until 1984, and may even have helped to carry weapons to set Nicaraguan contrasts.

In his role as the DEA formator, Seal continued to fly his smuggling routes, but did so on an airplane with monitoring equipment. During his trips, the pilot was able to capture photographs of the Nicaraguan soldiers, members of the Sandinista board, and even Cuba officials who downloaded his aircraft cocaine bags. Seal is even said to take a shot from Pablo Escobar.

Unfortunately, for Seal, the press got the story and revealed the entire operation. Naturally, Medellin Cartel did not kindly take their drug smuggler to be an American informationor (“American Made” is definitely A review of the review if you are a “sicario” fan). In February 1986, Seal was killed outside the Baton Rouge Rescue Army Center when a man shot him six times with Kone. Ultimately, three Colombians were convicted of murder.
