Is Hit Man 2024 Based On A True Story?

Netflix’s Hit Man is loosely based on the true story of Gary Johnson, a man who posed as a contract killer for Houston police in the late 1980s and 1990s. Director Linklater discovered Johnson’s story in a 2001 Texas Monthly article by Skip Hollandsworth.

The film debuted on Netflix on June 7 after a limited theatrical release. Linklater and Glen Powell collaborated on the script, departing from the facts to explore a romantic storyline between Johnson and a woman he refused to set up. However, there are significant differences between Powell’s portrayal and the real Gary Johnson.
