The book is very factual. The movie is Hollywood fictional. This means
that it does have very factual underlying truths. However, to make the
movie popular in the Box Office and sales, the screenwriters had to
change a few bits about it. They threw in the conspiracy theory.
That's always a favorites of the post-pot-smokers for making movies.
Blame it on the government.
Back to your question, yes, it is a fictional movie.
Have a good day. =)
