The 2009 biographical drama Invictus was one of the year’s most popular flicks. With a star-studded cast, heartfelt emotional moments, and lots of careful attention to detail, Invictus told a true story and did it well — earning lots of acclaim for star Morgan Freeman. Partially based on a 2008 book, Invictus featured several real-life events, including one that, while ultimately very inspiring, terrified Nelson Mandela’s security team when it occurred.

Invictus is based on the 2008 book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation, written by John Carlin. According to IMDb, it tells the story of South African President Nelson Mandela, who, during his first term in office, decides to try to unite a land still reeling from apartheid by enlisting the national rugby team to try to win the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
