11.22.63 is based on Stephen King's novel of the same name published in 2001. The book taps into the historical intrigue of the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy, which is among the most analyzed events in American history. He was shot by a former US Marine, Lee Harvey Oswald, while riding in a presidential motorcade during a tour in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963.
Oswald was caught by the police but was fatally shot on live television while he was being moved through the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters. There are numerous speculations regarding these events that have spawned several conspiracy theories.
