___ on a true story (5)

I believe the answer is:

based

(Other definitions for based that I've seen before include "Located" , "Founded or used as evidence" , "Stationed (in a place)" , "(Of aircraft) stationed" , "Positioned" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the USA Today and The Washington Post.
