Biographical film

A biographical film or biopic (/ˈbaɪoʊˌpɪk/)^[1] is a film that dramatizes the life of an actual person or group of people. Such films show the life of a historical person and the central character's real name is used.^[2] They differ from docudrama films and historical drama films in that they attempt to comprehensively tell a single person's life story or at least the most historically important years of their lives.^[3]
