Is Reacher A True Story? The answer is a big NO. Reacher is not based on a true story, rather it is based on the novel series written by Lee Child, as it has already been mentioned. He delivered the story and the character of Jack on screen, which he claimed was the great and the biggest challenge. Lee has taken his inspiration from the English rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio. Inspired by his physique and appearance, he wanted to bring the same in Reacher too and was successful too.
